1 Share of the camping ground operative role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the host/hostess 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 camping ground operative role treats 5 of its required skills as things a host/hostess already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist clients with special needs
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • maintain customer service
  • provide tourism related information

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A camping ground operative role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a host/hostess background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held distribute local information materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide tourism related information assisting and caring
  • already held assist clients with special needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held greet guests assisting and caring
  • already held handle customer complaints communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the camping ground operative 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.
