1 Share of the real estate investor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the real estate surveyor 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 investor role treats 8 of its required skills as things a real estate surveyor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

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

What stands in the way is 7 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A real estate investor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a real estate surveyor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held cadastral taxation business, administration and law
  • already held concurrent estate business, administration and law
  • already held examine the conditions of buildings information skills
  • already held perform property market research information skills
  • already held value properties information skills
  • already held provide information on properties communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 8 the real estate investor 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.
