41.7/ 100

1 Share of the shop supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the checkout 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

Why this move works

A shop supervisor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a checkout supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply company policies
  • control of expenses
  • health, safety and hygiene legislation
  • manage budgets
  • manage staff
  • monitor customer service

What stands in the way is 2 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A shop supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a checkout supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain transaction's reports information skills
  • already held control of expenses information skills
  • already held oversee promotional sales prices management skills
  • already held apply company policies assisting and caring
  • already held manage theft prevention assisting and caring
  • already held monitor customer service management skills

All 12 carried skills, including the 9 the shop 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.
