1 Share of the call centre analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the credit risk 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 call centre analyst role treats 7 of its required skills as things a credit risk analyst already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply statistical analysis techniques
  • carry out statistical forecasts
  • create solutions to problems
  • have computer literacy
  • inspect data
  • perform data analysis

What stands in the way is 13 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 call centre analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a credit risk analyst background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held deliver visual presentation of data communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held inspect data information skills
  • already held apply information security policies assisting and caring
  • already held information confidentiality information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held carry out statistical forecasts information skills
  • already held apply statistical analysis techniques information skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the call centre analyst role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
