34.8/ 100

1 Share of the conveyance clerk role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the notary profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A conveyance clerk role treats 7 of its required skills as things a notary already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • conveyancing
  • legal terminology
  • manage digital documents
  • property law
  • provide legal legitimacy to the transfer of assets
  • revise legal documents

What stands in the way is 3 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A conveyance clerk role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a notary background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held conveyancing business, administration and law
  • already held provide legal legitimacy to the transfer of assets communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held register deeds information skills
  • already held advise on legal services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held revise legal documents communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held examine mortgage loan documents information skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 7 the conveyance clerk role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
