52.8/ 100

1 Share of the bankruptcy trustee role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mortgage broker 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 bankruptcy trustee role treats 6 of its required skills as things a mortgage broker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse loans
  • business loans
  • collect property financial information
  • debt systems
  • examine credit ratings
  • obtain financial information

What stands in the way is 7 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bankruptcy trustee role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mortgage broker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain client debt records information skills
  • already held analyse loans information skills
  • already held consult credit score information skills
  • already held business loans business, administration and law
  • already held collect property financial information information skills
  • already held debt systems business, administration and law

All 12 carried skills, including the 6 the bankruptcy trustee 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.
