1 Share of the membership manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the quality services manager 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A membership manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a quality services manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held plan health and safety procedures management skills
  • already held follow company standards assisting and caring
  • already held corporate social responsibility business, administration and law
  • already held customer service business, administration and law
  • already held liaise with managers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create solutions to problems communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the membership manager 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.
