1 Share of the hotel butler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ground steward/ground stewardess 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 butler role treats 3 of its required skills as things a ground steward/ground stewardess already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • handle customer complaints
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain relationship with customers

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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hotel butler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ground steward/ground stewardess background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held assist clients with special needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held handle customer complaints communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain relationship with customers communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the hotel butler 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.
