20%
76/ 100
1 Share of the department store manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the commercial art gallery manager 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 department store manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a commercial art gallery manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- have computer literacy
- implement marketing strategies
- implement sales strategies
- train employees
What stands in the way is 14 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 department store manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a commercial art gallery manager background worth leading with.
- already held implement sales strategies communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held implement marketing strategies communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held employment law business, administration and law
- already held train employees communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held have computer literacy working with computers
All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the department store manager role treats as required.

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.
