1 Share of the foreign language correspondence clerk role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the court reporter 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 foreign language correspondence clerk role treats 4 of its required skills as things a court reporter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply grammar and spelling rules
  • ensure proper document management
  • grammar
  • spelling

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A foreign language correspondence clerk role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a court reporter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held liaise with typists communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform office routine activities management skills
  • already held ensure proper document management information skills
  • already held spelling arts and humanities
  • already held grammar arts and humanities
  • already held apply grammar and spelling rules communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the foreign language correspondence clerk 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.
