1 Share of the beauty salon attendant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the receptionist 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 beauty salon attendant role treats 4 of its required skills as things a receptionist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • administer appointments
  • greet guests
  • handle customer complaints
  • process payments

What stands in the way is 13 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A beauty salon attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a receptionist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held greet guests assisting and caring
  • already held administer appointments management skills
  • already held communicate by telephone communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held process payments management skills
  • already held handle customer complaints communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held issue sales invoices management skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the beauty salon attendant 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.
