1 Share of the baggage flow supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the airport security officer 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 baggage flow supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a airport security officer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • airport safety regulations
  • apply airport standards and regulations
  • conduct airport security screening
  • ensure compliance with airport security measures
  • ensure public safety and security
  • identify airport safety hazards

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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A baggage flow supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a airport security officer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held carry out evacuation of airport in an emergency assisting and caring
  • already held conduct airport safety inspections information skills
  • already held conduct airport security screening assisting and caring
  • already held report airport security incidents information skills
  • already held ensure compliance with airport security measures assisting and caring
  • already held airport safety regulations services

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the baggage flow 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.
