This move: 51.2 of 100 · moderate

1 Share of the doorman/doorwoman role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the parking valet 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.

Table 2 · What you already bring

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held park guest's vehicle working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held handle guest luggage handling and moving
already held greet guests assisting and caring
already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the doorman/doorwoman 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.
