48.7/ 100

1 Share of the housing manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the real estate manager 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 housing manager role treats 18 of its required skills as things a real estate manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise on financial matters
  • analyse financial performance of a company
  • analyse market financial trends
  • collect rental fees
  • corporate social responsibility
  • create a financial plan

What stands in the way is 9 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A housing manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a real estate manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held collect rental fees management skills
  • already held supervise property development projects management skills
  • already held inform on renting agreements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held examine the conditions of buildings information skills
  • already held provide information on properties communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held organise a damage assessment management skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 18 the housing manager 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.
