A lottery manager already meets 32% of what the auction house manager role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
66.5/ 100
1 How much of what an auction house manager is expected to do is already part of a lottery manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the auction house manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An auction house manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a lottery manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- budgetary principles
- corporate social responsibility
- financial management
- follow company standards
- manage budgets
- manage staff
What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An auction house manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a lottery manager background worth leading with.
- already held financial management business, administration and law
- already held budgetary principles business, administration and law
- already held manage supplies management skills
- already held follow company standards assisting and caring
- already held corporate social responsibility business, administration and law
- already held manage budgets management skills
All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the auction house manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 25 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
