1 Share of the real estate surveyor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the 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 real estate surveyor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a property appraiser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on property value
  • collect property financial information
  • compare property values
  • examine the conditions of buildings
  • perform property market research
  • property law

What stands in the way is 2 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A real estate surveyor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a property appraiser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held compile appraisal reports information skills
  • already held concurrent estate business, administration and law
  • already held perform field research information skills
  • already held advise on property value communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held examine the conditions of buildings information skills
  • already held perform property market research information skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 9 the real estate surveyor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 6 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.
