60.1/ 100
1 How much of what a hotel butler is expected to do is already part of a beauty salon attendant’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the hotel butler role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A hotel butler role treats 4 of its required skills as things a beauty salon attendant already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- greet guests
- handle customer complaints
- maintain customer service
- maintain relationship with customers
What stands in the way is 6 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel butler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a beauty salon attendant background worth leading with.
- already held greet guests assisting and caring
- already held handle customer complaints communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held implement marketing strategies communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held maintain relationship with customers communication, collaboration and creativity
All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the hotel butler role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 14 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
