1 Share of the passport officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the customs and excise officer 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 passport officer role treats 2 of its required skills as things a customs and excise officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • check official documents
  • comply with legal regulations

What stands in the way is 5 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A passport officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a customs and excise officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held check official documents assisting and caring
  • already held respond to enquiries assisting and caring
  • already held comply with legal regulations assisting and caring
  • already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 2 the passport officer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 14 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
