77%
28.2/ 100
1 Share of the domestic energy assessor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electricity sales representative 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 this move works
A domestic energy assessor role treats 15 of its required skills as things a electricity sales representative already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- advise on heating systems energy efficiency
- advise on utility consumption
- answer requests for quotation
- assess customers
- carry out sales analysis
- characteristics of products
What stands in the way is 3 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 33 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A domestic energy assessor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electricity sales representative background worth leading with.
- already held plan customers' sales visits management skills
- already held manage development of promotional material communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held inform customers on energy consumption fees communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held assess customers assisting and caring
- already held monitor after sales records information skills
- already held prepare sales checks information skills
All 33 carried skills, including the 15 the domestic energy assessor role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a domestic energy assessor role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 determine appropriate heating and cooling system skill · sector specific
- 02 advise on hazards of heating systems skill · cross sector
- 03 domestic heating systems knowledge · cross sector
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
