1 Share of the casino pit boss role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the gaming dealer 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 casino pit boss role treats 4 of its required skills as things a gaming dealer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • casino game rules
  • casino policies
  • follow ethical code of conduct of gambling
  • follow safety precautions in a gaming room

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A casino pit boss role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a gaming dealer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held attract gamers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow safety precautions in a gaming room assisting and caring
  • already held casino game rules business, administration and law
  • already held casino policies business, administration and law
  • already held follow ethical code of conduct of gambling assisting and caring
  • already held show diplomacy communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the casino pit boss 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.
