1 Share of the night auditor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hotel porter 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 night auditor role treats 5 of its required skills as things a hotel porter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist at check-in
  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • maintain customer service

What stands in the way is 6 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 night auditor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hotel porter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held run errands on behalf of customers assisting and caring
  • already held take room service orders communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held detect drug abuse assisting and caring
  • already held assist at check-in assisting and caring
  • already held provide tourism related information assisting and caring
  • already held assist clients with special needs communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 5 the night auditor 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.
