52.2/ 100

1 Share of the commodity trader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the central bank governor 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 commodity trader role treats 7 of its required skills as things a central bank governor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse economic trends
  • analyse market financial trends
  • commercial law
  • economics
  • financial jurisdiction
  • financial markets

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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A commodity trader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a central bank governor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held international trade business, administration and law
  • already held forecast economic trends information skills
  • already held analyse economic trends information skills
  • already held commercial law business, administration and law
  • already held financial jurisdiction business, administration and law
  • already held financial markets business, administration and law

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the commodity trader 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.
