1 Share of the delicatessen specialised seller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the shelf filler 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 delicatessen specialised seller role treats 8 of its required skills as things a shelf filler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • characteristics of products
  • characteristics of services
  • examine merchandise
  • handle sensitive products
  • maintain store cleanliness
  • monitor stock level

What stands in the way is 23 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 delicatessen specialised seller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a shelf filler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle sensitive products handling and moving
  • already held prevent shoplifting assisting and caring
  • already held stock shelves handling and moving
  • already held examine merchandise information skills
  • already held maintain store cleanliness handling and moving
  • already held characteristics of services business, administration and law

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the delicatessen specialised seller role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
