1 Share of the gambling manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the botanist 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

Why this move works

A gambling manager role treats 10 of its required skills as things a botanist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

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

What stands in the way is 16 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 gambling 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

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the gambling manager role treats as required.

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.
