1 How much of what a computer software and multimedia shop manager is expected to do is already part of a shoe and leather accessories shop 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 computer software and multimedia shop manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A computer software and multimedia shop manager role treats 27 of its required skills as things a shoe and leather accessories shop manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • apply health and safety standards
  • employment law
  • ensure client orientation
  • ensure compliance with purchasing and contracting regulations
  • ensure correct goods labelling

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

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.
