1 Share of the letting agent role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the relocation officer 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 letting agent role treats 5 of its required skills as things a relocation officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • collect property financial information
  • organise property viewing
  • perform property market research
  • provide information on properties
  • real estate market

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held organise property viewing management skills
  • already held advise on property value communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform property market research information skills
  • already held examine the conditions of buildings information skills
  • already held provide information on properties communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held collect property financial information information skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the letting agent role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
