A dating service consultant already meets 35% of what the astrologer role asks for. The move turns on 7 required skills not yet in the profile.
61.6/ 100
1 How much of what an astrologer is expected to do is already part of a dating service consultant’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the astrologer role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An astrologer role treats 3 of its required skills as things a dating service consultant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- assess character
- give advice on personal matters
- maintain customer service
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An astrologer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dating service consultant background worth leading with.
- already held give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
- already held assess character management skills
- already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
- already held interview people communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held administer appointments management skills
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
All 9 carried skills, including the 3 the astrologer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 14 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
