53.3/ 100

1 Share of the insurance collector 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 insurance collector role treats 8 of its required skills as things a pawnbroker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse financial risk
  • debt collection techniques
  • debt systems
  • handle financial transactions
  • maintain client debt records
  • maintain records of financial transactions

What stands in the way is 6 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 insurance collector 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 debt systems business, administration and law
  • already held maintain records of financial transactions information skills
  • already held obtain financial information information skills

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the insurance collector 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.
