1 Share of the hospitality establishment security officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the security 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 hospitality establishment security officer role treats 10 of its required skills as things a security manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • handle surveillance equipment
  • legal use-of-force
  • maintain incident reporting records
  • manage budgets
  • manage outsourced security
  • manage security equipment

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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hospitality establishment security officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a security manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage outsourced security management skills
  • already held undertake employee screening information skills
  • already held perform internal investigations information skills
  • already held protect important clients assisting and caring
  • already held manage security equipment information skills
  • already held maintain incident reporting records information skills

All 10 carried skills, including the 10 the hospitality establishment security officer 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.
