1 Share of the hotel concierge role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the camping ground operative 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 hotel concierge role treats 8 of its required skills as things a camping ground operative already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist at check-in
  • assist clients with special needs
  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • identify customer's needs

What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel concierge role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a camping ground operative background worth leading with.

  • already held assess cleanliness of areas information skills

  • already held process reservations information skills
  • already held assist at check-in assisting and caring

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.
