1 Share of the door supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the store detective 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 door supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a store detective already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

detain offenders
ensure public safety and security
fire safety regulations
identify security threats
perform security checks
practice vigilance

What stands in the way is 9 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A door supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a store detective background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held perform security checks assisting and caring
already held screen clients assisting and caring
already held operate fire extinguishers assisting and caring
already held identify terrorism threats information skills
already held detain offenders assisting and caring
already held liaise with security authorities communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the door supervisor 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.
