1 Share of the hawker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the market vendor 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 hawker role treats 17 of its required skills as things a market vendor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to different weather conditions
  • assist customers
  • carry out active selling
  • consumer protection
  • demonstrate products' features
  • ensure client orientation

What stands in the way is 2 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 41 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hawker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a market vendor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure product preparation assisting and caring
  • already held floral composition techniques arts and humanities
  • already held unload supplies handling and moving
  • already held clothing sizes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held fish varieties natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held types of watches engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 41 carried skills, including the 17 the hawker 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.
