mayortomember of parliament
A mayor already meets 62% of what the member of parliament role asks for. The move turns on 5 required skills not yet in the profile.
62%
38.4/ 100
1 Share of the member of parliament role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mayor 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 member of parliament role treats 9 of its required skills as things a mayor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- constitutional law
- engage in debates
- good governance
- government policy implementation
- legislation procedure
- manage government policy implementation
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 · What you already bring
Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A member of parliament role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mayor background worth leading with.
- already held prepare legislation proposition management skills
- already held present legislation proposition communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held engage in debates communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform government ceremonies assisting and caring
- already held constitutional law business, administration and law
- already held legislation procedure business, administration and law
All 18 carried skills, including the 9 the member of parliament role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 12 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.
- required, not held analyse legislation required
- required, not held ensure information transparency required
- optional, not held assess risk factors optional
- optional, not held monitor political conflicts optional

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a member of parliament role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 EU law knowledge · sector specific
- 02 make legislative decisions skill · sector specific
- 03 analyse legislation skill · cross sector
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.
