30%
66.4/ 100
1 Share of the parking valet role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the car and van delivery driver 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 parking valet role treats 5 of its required skills as things a car and van delivery driver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- communicate with customers
- drive vehicles
- follow verbal instructions
- interpret traffic signals
- road traffic laws
What stands in the way is 9 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A parking valet role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a car and van delivery driver background worth leading with.

- already held drive in urban areas working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held interpret traffic signals assisting and caring
- already held road traffic laws business, administration and law
- already held drive vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment

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.
