47.9/ 100

1 Share of the foreclosure specialist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the title closer 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 foreclosure specialist role treats 9 of its required skills as things a title closer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse loans
  • collect property financial information
  • communicate with banking professionals
  • examine mortgage loan documents
  • handle financial disputes
  • mortgage loans

What stands in the way is 6 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 foreclosure specialist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a title closer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held interview bank loanees communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held examine mortgage loan documents information skills
  • already held mortgage loans business, administration and law
  • already held analyse loans information skills
  • already held insolvency law business, administration and law
  • already held handle financial disputes communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the foreclosure specialist 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.
