1 Share of the cigar brander role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cigar inspector 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cigar brander role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cigar inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform test in cigarette-making machine information skills
  • already held quality prototype of a tobacco leaf engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held compute average weight of cigarettes information skills
  • already held history of tobacco arts and humanities
  • already held manufacturing of smoked tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held variety of tobacco leaves engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 17 carried skills, including the 7 the cigar brander role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 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.
