1 Share of the securities broker 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 securities broker role treats 10 of its required skills as things a personal trust officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • actuarial science
  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse financial risk
  • apply technical communication skills
  • financial products
  • handle financial transactions

What stands in the way is 10 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A securities broker 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 provide support in financial calculation information skills
  • already held review investment portfolios communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held protect client interests communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held actuarial science natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held financial products business, administration and law
  • already held securities business, administration and law

All 12 carried skills, including the 10 the securities broker 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.
