29.4/ 100
1 How much of what a cosmetics and perfume specialised seller is expected to do is already part of a confectionery specialised seller’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 cosmetics and perfume specialised seller role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A cosmetics and perfume specialised seller role treats 27 of its required skills as things a confectionery specialised seller already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply numeracy skills
- carry out active selling

- carry out products preparation
- characteristics of products
- characteristics of services
What stands in the way is 6 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cosmetics and perfume specialised seller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a confectionery specialised seller background worth leading with.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in.
