1 Share of the housekeeping supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hospitality establishment security officer 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 9 of its required skills as things a hospitality establishment security officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • ensure cross-department cooperation
  • handle customer complaints
  • maintain customer service
  • manage budgets
  • manage health and safety standards

What stands in the way is 11 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 12 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 hospitality establishment security officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held procure hospitality products communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor work for special events information skills
  • already held develop working procedures management skills
  • already held handle surveillance equipment assisting and caring
  • already held ensure cross-department cooperation communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the housekeeping supervisor role treats as required.

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
