48%
59/ 100
1 Share of the medical goods specialised seller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the shop assistant 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 this move works
A medical goods specialised seller role treats 15 of its required skills as things a shop assistant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- carry out active selling
- carry out order intake
- demonstrate products' features
- examine merchandise
- identify customer's needs
- maintain store cleanliness
What stands in the way is 16 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A medical goods specialised seller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a shop assistant background worth leading with.
- already held carry out order intake communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held provide customer guidance on product selection communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held process refunds management skills
- already held stock shelves handling and moving
- already held examine merchandise information skills
- already held maintain store cleanliness handling and moving
All 15 carried skills, including the 15 the medical goods specialised seller 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.
