1 Share of the insurance rating analyst role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the title closer 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A insurance rating analyst role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a title closer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held insurance market business, administration and law
  • already held analyse loans information skills
  • already held analyse insurance risk information skills
  • already held consult credit score information skills
  • already held insurance law business, administration and law
  • already held types of insurance business, administration and law

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the insurance rating analyst role treats as required.

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.
