26%
68.7/ 100
1 Share of the customs and excise officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the international forwarding operations coordinator 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 customs and excise officer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a international forwarding operations coordinator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- control trade commercial documentation
- coordinate import transportation activities
- international business
- manage import export licenses
What stands in the way is 8 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A customs and excise officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a international forwarding operations coordinator background worth leading with.
- already held manage import export licenses information skills
- already held coordinate import transportation activities management skills
- already held control trade commercial documentation assisting and caring
- already held international business business, administration and law
- already held write work-related reports communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held use different communication channels communication, collaboration and creativity
All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the customs and excise officer role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a customs and excise officer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 import export regulations of dangerous chemicals knowledge · sector specific
- 02 international import export regulations knowledge · sector specific
- 03 international taxation of transfer prices knowledge · sector specific
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.
