54.9/ 100

1 Share of the camping ground operative role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the travel agent 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 camping ground operative role treats 5 of its required skills as things a travel agent already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • handle customer complaints
  • handle financial transactions
  • maintain customer service
  • provide tourism related information

What stands in the way is 6 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A camping ground operative role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a travel agent background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held distribute local information materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held process booking information skills
  • already held provide tourism related information assisting and caring
  • already held maintain customer records information skills
  • already held comply with food safety and hygiene assisting and caring

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.
