1 Share of the hotel butler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hotel concierge 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 hotel butler role treats 7 of its required skills as things a hotel concierge already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist at check-in
  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • identify customer's needs
  • maintain customer service

What stands in the way is 3 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel butler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hotel concierge background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure the privacy of guests assisting and caring
  • already held take room service orders communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assist at check-in assisting and caring
  • already held provide tourism related information assisting and caring

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.
