1 Share of the insurance claims manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the housing manager 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 insurance claims manager role treats 12 of its required skills as things a housing manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse market financial trends
  • corporate social responsibility
  • enforce financial policies
  • financial analysis
  • financial management

What stands in the way is 11 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A insurance claims manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a housing manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held organise a damage assessment management skills
  • already held enforce financial policies management skills
  • already held financial analysis business, administration and law
  • already held analyse financial performance of a company information skills
  • already held financial statements business, administration and law
  • already held financial management business, administration and law

All 15 carried skills, including the 12 the insurance claims manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
