government ministertogovernor
A government minister already meets 73% of what the governor role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
73%
26.6/ 100
1 Share of the governor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the government minister 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 governor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a government minister already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- budgetary principles
- constitutional law
- engage in debates
- good governance
- government policy implementation
- legislation procedure
What stands in the way is 2 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A governor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a government minister background worth leading with.
- already held engage in debates communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform government ceremonies assisting and caring
- already held represent national interests communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held monitor political conflicts information skills
- already held political campaigning social sciences, journalism and information
- already held constitutional law business, administration and law
All 20 carried skills, including the 9 the governor role treats as required.

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.
