1 Share of the hotel concierge role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bartender 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel concierge role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bartender background worth leading with.

  • already held handover the service area handling and moving
  • already held detect drug abuse assisting and caring
  • already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify customer's needs communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
