1 Share of the tanning consultant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pedicurist 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 tanning consultant role treats 3 of its required skills as things a pedicurist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • identify customer's needs
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain equipment

What stands in the way is 5 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tanning consultant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pedicurist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held offer cosmetic beauty advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held skin types services
  • already held recommend cosmetics to customers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held cosmetics services
  • already held administer appointments management skills
  • already held process payments management skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 3 the tanning consultant role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
