this move, 61.1

This move: 61.1 of 100 · substantial

1 Share of the justice of the peace role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the notary 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.

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 justice of the peace role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a notary background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held authenticate documents assisting and caring
  • already held officiate weddings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held law of non-marital cohabitation business, administration and law
  • already held private law business, administration and law
  • already held interpret law communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held facilitate official agreement communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 5 the justice of the peace 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.
