1 Share of the lottery cashier role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the bookmaker 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lottery cashier role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a bookmaker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held communicate gambling rules communication, collaboration and creativity
already held handle cash flow management skills
already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring
already held keep task records information skills

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the lottery cashier 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.
