47.7/ 100

1 Share of the asset manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the credit union manager 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 asset manager role treats 14 of its required skills as things a credit union manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse financial performance of a company
  • analyse financial risk
  • analyse market financial trends
  • corporate social responsibility
  • develop investment portfolio

What stands in the way is 8 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A asset manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a credit union manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply credit risk policy assisting and caring
  • already held credit control processes business, administration and law
  • already held develop investment portfolio management skills
  • already held enforce financial policies management skills
  • already held financial analysis business, administration and law
  • already held review investment portfolios communication, collaboration and creativity

All 20 carried skills, including the 14 the asset manager role treats as required.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
