1 Share of the laundry and dry cleaning manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the contact centre manager 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 laundry and dry cleaning manager role treats 9 of its required skills as things a contact centre manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • corporate social responsibility
  • create solutions to problems
  • customer relationship management
  • follow company standards
  • handle customer complaints
  • manage budgets

What stands in the way is 16 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A laundry and dry cleaning manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a contact centre manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held discharge employees management skills
  • already held customer relationship management business, administration and law
  • already held fix meetings management skills
  • already held supervise work management skills
  • already held monitor customer service management skills
  • already held plan health and safety procedures management skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 9 the laundry and dry cleaning manager role treats as required.

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.
