mediumtopsychic
A medium already meets 72% of what the psychic role asks for. The move turns on 2 required skills not yet in the profile.
72%
28.2/ 100
1 Share of the psychic role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the medium 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 psychic role treats 8 of its required skills as things a medium already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- develop professional network
- maintain customer service
- maintain privacy of service users
- manage personal professional development
- occultism
- prospect new customers
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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A psychic role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a medium background worth leading with.
- already held occultism arts and humanities
- already held entertain people communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform live communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform lectures communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain privacy of service users assisting and caring
- already held rhetoric social sciences, journalism and information
All 15 carried skills, including the 8 the psychic role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn
The 8 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 read people required
- optional, not held trace people optional
- required, not held give advice on personal matters required
- optional, not held use internet chat optional
- optional, not held assist police investigations optional
- optional, not held communicate by telephone optional
- optional, not held consultation optional
- optional, not held assess character optional
Table 4 · Where to start
The 2 entries a psychic role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 read people skill · occupation specific
- 02 give advice on personal matters skill · 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.
