1 Share of the real estate manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the compensation analyst 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 manager role treats 6 of its required skills as things a compensation analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse financial performance of a company
  • control financial resources
  • corporate social responsibility
  • financial analysis
  • manage staff
  • provide cost benefit analysis reports

What stands in the way is 25 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A real estate manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a compensation analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held control financial resources management skills
  • already held financial analysis business, administration and law
  • already held analyse financial performance of a company information skills
  • already held provide cost benefit analysis reports information skills
  • already held corporate social responsibility business, administration and law
  • already held manage staff management skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the real estate manager 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.
