1 Share of the insurance risk consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the personal property appraiser 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 risk consultant role treats 3 of its required skills as things a personal property appraiser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

analyse insurance risk
insurance law
obtain financial information

What stands in the way is 11 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A insurance risk consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a personal property appraiser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held organise a damage assessment management skills
already held analyse insurance risk information skills
already held insurance law business, administration and law
already held obtain financial information information skills

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the insurance risk consultant role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
