1 Share of the hospitality entertainment manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tourist animator 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 entertainment manager role treats 8 of its required skills as things a tourist animator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • develop entertainment programmes
  • handle customer complaints
  • implement marketing strategies
  • implement sales strategies
  • manage health and safety standards

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hospitality entertainment manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tourist animator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop entertainment programmes communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held demonstrate intercultural competences in hospitality services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held recreation activities services
  • already held improve customer traveling experiences with augmented reality working with computers
  • already held support community-based tourism communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ecotourism natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 25 carried skills, including the 8 the hospitality entertainment manager 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.
