30%
75.4/ 100
1 Share of the tobacco specialised seller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the promotions demonstrator 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 this move works
A tobacco specialised seller role treats 10 of its required skills as things a promotions demonstrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- carry out active selling
- characteristics of products
- characteristics of services
- demonstrate products' features
- enforce regulations of selling tobacco to minors
- organise product display
What stands in the way is 22 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tobacco specialised seller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a promotions demonstrator background worth leading with.
- already held enforce regulations of selling tobacco to minors assisting and caring
- already held tobacco brands engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held stock shelves handling and moving
- already held organise product display communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held carry out active selling communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held demonstrate products' features communication, collaboration and creativity
All 10 carried skills, including the 10 the tobacco specialised seller role treats as required.

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.
