46%
56.3/ 100
1 Share of the hospitality establishment receptionist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bed and breakfast operator 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 this move works
A hospitality establishment receptionist role treats 10 of its required skills as things a bed and breakfast operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assist at check-in
- deal with arrivals in accommodation
- greet guests
- handle customer complaints
- handle financial transactions
- identify customer's needs
What stands in the way is 10 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hospitality establishment receptionist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bed and breakfast operator background worth leading with.
- already held deal with arrivals in accommodation assisting and caring
- already held maintain reception area management skills
- already held property management software services
- already held take room service orders communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held process reservations information skills
- already held assist at check-in assisting and caring
All 13 carried skills, including the 10 the hospitality establishment receptionist role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start

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.
