51.3/ 100

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

  • communicate with customers
  • greet guests
  • maintain customer service
  • manage lost and found articles

What stands in the way is 3 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cloak room attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a usher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held sell snacks communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held provide directions to guests assisting and caring
  • already held manage lost and found articles assisting and caring
  • already held check tickets at venue entry assisting and caring
  • already held manage emergency evacuation plans communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held fire safety regulations services

All 10 carried skills, including the 4 the cloak room 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.
