1 Share of the street food vendor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the door to door seller 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 street food vendor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a door to door seller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to different weather conditions
  • assist customers
  • consumer protection
  • guarantee customer satisfaction
  • process payments

What stands in the way is 10 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street food vendor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a door to door seller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adapt to different weather conditions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate price communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held consumer protection services
  • already held carry out products preparation handling and moving
  • already held assist customers assisting and caring
  • already held carry out active selling communication, collaboration and creativity

All 9 carried skills, including the 5 the street food vendor 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.
