1 Share of the insurance collector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the personal trust 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 insurance collector role treats 5 of its required skills as things a personal trust officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse financial risk
  • handle financial transactions
  • identify clients' needs
  • obtain financial information
  • provide support in financial calculation

What stands in the way is 9 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 insurance collector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a personal trust officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle financial disputes communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify clients' needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop investment portfolio management skills
  • already held provide support in financial calculation information skills
  • already held review investment portfolios communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held actuarial science natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the insurance collector role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 3 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.
