64%
43.7/ 100
1 Share of the delicatessen shop manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the supermarket 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 this move works
A delicatessen shop manager role treats 20 of its required skills as things a supermarket manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adhere to organisational guidelines
- employment law
- ensure compliance with purchasing and contracting regulations
- maintain relationship with customers
- maintain relationship with suppliers
- manage budgets
What stands in the way is 10 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A delicatessen shop manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a supermarket manager background worth leading with.

- already held oversee promotional sales prices management skills
- already held supervise merchandise displays communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held set sales goals management skills

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.
