1 Share of the intellectual property consultant 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 intellectual property consultant role treats 4 of its required skills as things a notary already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • contract law
  • intellectual property law
  • legal terminology
  • provide legal advice

What stands in the way is 9 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A intellectual property consultant 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 interpret law communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide legal advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held legal terminology business, administration and law
  • already held court procedures business, administration and law
  • already held legal research business, administration and law
  • already held intellectual property law business, administration and law

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the intellectual property consultant role treats as required.

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.
