1 Share of the tourist animator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the customer experience 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 tourist animator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a customer experience manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist clients with special needs
  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • demonstrate intercultural competences in hospitality services
  • engage local communities in the management of natural protected areas
  • ensure cross-department cooperation
  • identify customer's needs

What stands in the way is 7 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tourist animator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a customer experience manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held demonstrate intercultural competences in hospitality services communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held support community-based tourism communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held improve customer traveling experiences with augmented reality working with computers
  • already held ecotourism natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held educate on sustainable tourism communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held promote virtual reality travelling experiences working with computers

All 22 carried skills, including the 10 the tourist animator 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.
