53.2/ 100

1 Share of the astrologer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the life coach 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 astrologer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a life coach already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assess character
  • give advice on personal matters
  • maintain customer service
  • manage personal professional development
  • rhetoric

What stands in the way is 5 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A astrologer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a life coach background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held give advice on personal matters assisting and caring
  • already held assess character management skills
  • already held rhetoric social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
  • already held administer appointments management skills
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the astrologer 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.
