50%
48/ 100
1 Share of the club host/club hostess role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the restaurant host/restaurant hostess 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 club host/club hostess role treats 6 of its required skills as things a restaurant host/restaurant hostess already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- assist VIP guests
- assist customers
- assist guest departure
- handle customer complaints
- maintain customer service
- maintain relationship with customers
What stands in the way is 5 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A club host/club hostess role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a restaurant host/restaurant hostess background worth leading with.
- already held accommodate special seating assisting and caring
- already held assist VIP guests assisting and caring
- already held assist guest departure assisting and caring
- already held arrange tables assisting and caring
- already held advise guests on menus for special events communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
