1 Share of the odds compiler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gambling games developer 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 odds compiler role treats 4 of its required skills as things a gambling games developer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
games rules
legal standards in gambling
solve problems in gambling through digital means

What stands in the way is 6 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A odds compiler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gambling games developer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held solve problems in gambling through digital means working with computers
already held apply gaming psychology communication, collaboration and creativity
already held legal standards in gambling business, administration and law
already held games rules business, administration and law
already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the odds compiler role treats as required.

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.
