1 Share of the extract mixer tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the chocolatier 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 extract mixer tester role treats 5 of its required skills as things a chocolatier already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • care for food aesthetic
  • ensure public safety and security

What stands in the way is 8 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A extract mixer tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chocolatier background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work independently in service of a food production process management skills
  • already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring
  • already held analyse characteristics of food products at reception information skills
  • already held ensure public safety and security assisting and caring
  • already held apply GMP assisting and caring
  • already held apply HACCP assisting and caring

All 9 carried skills, including the 5 the extract mixer tester 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.
