Advertising installer to street sweeper
An advertising installer already meets 15% of what the street sweeper role asks for. The move turns on 24 required skills not yet in the profile.
87.7/ 100
1 How much of what a street sweeper is expected to do is already part of an advertising installer’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the street sweeper role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A street sweeper role treats 5 of its required skills as things an advertising installer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- clean public furniture
- manage routine waste
- use personal protection equipment
- waste management
- work in outdoor conditions
What stands in the way is 24 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street sweeper role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of an advertising installer background worth leading with.
- already held graffiti removal techniques services
- already held clean public furniture handling and moving
- already held manage routine waste handling and moving
- already held work in outdoor conditions assisting and caring
- already held waste management services
- already held handle chemical cleaning agents handling and moving
All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the street sweeper role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 53 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.
