1 Share of the building materials specialised seller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery and watches specialised seller 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 building materials specialised seller role treats 27 of its required skills as things a jewellery and watches specialised seller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply numeracy skills
  • carry out active selling
  • carry out order intake
  • carry out products preparation
  • characteristics of products
  • characteristics of services

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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A building materials specialised seller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery and watches specialised seller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan aftersales arrangements management skills
  • already held carry out order intake communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held carry out products preparation handling and moving
  • already held provide customer guidance on product selection communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held organise storage facilities management skills
  • already held prevent shoplifting assisting and caring

All 27 carried skills, including the 27 the building materials specialised seller 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.
