1 Share of the credit manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pawnbroker 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 credit manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a pawnbroker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

analyse financial risk
credit control processes
debt collection techniques
debt systems
handle financial transactions
maintain records of financial transactions

What stands in the way is 20 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A credit manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pawnbroker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held debt collection techniques business, administration and law
already held maintain client debt records information skills
already held perform debt investigation information skills
already held credit control processes business, administration and law
already held debt systems business, administration and law
already held maintain records of financial transactions information skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the credit manager 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.
