1 Share of the delicatessen specialised seller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the shop assistant 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 15 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 shop assistant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held carry out order intake communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide customer guidance on product selection communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held process refunds management skills
  • already held stock shelves handling and moving
  • already held examine merchandise information skills
  • already held maintain store cleanliness handling and moving

All 15 carried skills, including the 15 the delicatessen specialised seller 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.
