54.2/ 100

1 Share of the gambling manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the recreational facilities manager 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 gambling manager role treats 15 of its required skills as things a recreational facilities manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist customers
  • corporate social responsibility
  • establish daily priorities
  • follow company standards
  • liaise with local authorities
  • manage budgets

What stands in the way is 11 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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A gambling manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recreational facilities manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage recreational facility management skills
  • already held supervise the work of staff on different shifts management skills
  • already held develop recreation programmes management skills
  • already held schedule recreation facilities management skills
  • already held promote recreation activities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held recreation activities services

All 23 carried skills, including the 15 the gambling manager role treats as required.

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.
