1 Share of the property assistant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the office clerk 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 property assistant role treats 6 of its required skills as things a office clerk already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • communicate by telephone
  • communicate with customers
  • organise business documents
  • perform office routine activities
  • process commissioned instructions
  • use office systems

What stands in the way is 14 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A property assistant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a office clerk background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain inventory of office supplies information skills
  • already held organise business documents management skills
  • already held process commissioned instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform office routine activities management skills
  • already held use office systems management skills
  • already held communicate by telephone communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 6 the property assistant role treats as required.

8 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
