1 Share of the housekeeping supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the funeral services director 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 housekeeping supervisor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a funeral services director already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • maintain customer service
  • manage budgets
  • manage maintenance operations
  • manage staff
  • train employees

What stands in the way is 15 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A housekeeping supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a funeral services director background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage maintenance operations management skills
  • already held greet guests assisting and caring
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held train employees communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage budgets management skills
  • already held manage staff management skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the housekeeping supervisor 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.
