36%
61.5/ 100
1 Share of the airport baggage handler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the baggage flow supervisor 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 airport baggage handler role treats 6 of its required skills as things a baggage flow supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- ensure efficient baggage handling
- ensure public safety and security
- follow airport safety procedures
- identify airport safety hazards
- tolerate stress
- transfer luggage
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

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.
