1 Share of the kiln firer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clay kiln burner 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A kiln firer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clay kiln burner background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare kiln firebox working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held control kiln firing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held kiln types engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held observe products' behaviour under processing conditions information skills
  • already held perform kiln maintenance constructing
  • already held maintain furnace temperature working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the kiln firer 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.
