1 Share of the grants administrator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the passport officer 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 grants administrator role treats 0 of its required skills as things a passport officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

What stands in the way is 8 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 grants administrator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a passport officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held use microsoft office working with computers
  • already held check official documents assisting and caring
  • already held ensure proper document management information skills
  • already held respond to enquiries assisting and caring
  • already held comply with legal regulations assisting and caring
  • already held keep task records information skills

All 8 carried skills, including the 0 the grants administrator role treats as required.

The 3 entries a grants administrator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

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.
