1 Share of the store detective role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hand luggage inspector 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 store detective role treats 7 of its required skills as things a hand luggage inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with legal regulations
  • detain offenders
  • ensure public safety and security
  • identify security threats
  • liaise with security authorities
  • practice vigilance

What stands in the way is 7 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A store detective role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hand luggage inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held check methods social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held perform security checks assisting and caring
  • already held identify terrorism threats information skills
  • already held detain offenders assisting and caring
  • already held liaise with security authorities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held practice vigilance assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the store detective 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.
