52.2/ 100

1 Share of the title closer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the property insurance underwriter 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 title closer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a property insurance underwriter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse insurance risk
  • collect property financial information
  • examine mortgage loan documents
  • insurance law
  • mortgage loans
  • property law

What stands in the way is 8 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 title closer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a property insurance underwriter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held examine mortgage loan documents information skills
  • already held mortgage loans business, administration and law
  • already held analyse insurance needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held insurance market business, administration and law
  • already held analyse insurance risk information skills
  • already held handle financial disputes communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the title closer 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.
