1 How much of what a beauty salon manager is expected to do is already part of a botanist’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 beauty salon manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A beauty salon manager role treats 16 of its required skills as things a botanist already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • corporate social responsibility
  • develop recreation programmes
  • establish daily priorities
  • follow company standards
  • liaise with local authorities
  • manage budgets

What stands in the way is 24 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A beauty salon manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a botanist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage recreational facility management skills
  • already held develop recreation programmes management skills
  • already held schedule recreation facilities management skills
  • already held promote recreation activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held recreation activities services
  • already held supervise daily information operations management skills

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 49 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
