1 Share of the handyperson role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the chimney sweep supervisor 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 handyperson role treats 4 of its required skills as things a chimney sweep supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • domestic heating systems
  • fire safety regulations
  • maintain customer service
  • ventilation systems

What stands in the way is 15 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A handyperson role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chimney sweep supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ventilation systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held domestic heating systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held energy engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held fire safety regulations services
  • already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the handyperson role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 43 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
