1 Share of the promotions demonstrator 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 promotions demonstrator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a market vendor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist customers
  • demonstrate products' features
  • ensure client orientation
  • ensure product preparation
  • maintain work area cleanliness
  • organise product display

What stands in the way is 8 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A promotions demonstrator 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 organise product display communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assist customers assisting and caring
  • already held carry out active selling communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain work area cleanliness handling and moving
  • already held demonstrate products' features communication, collaboration and creativity

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the promotions demonstrator 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.
