1 Share of the metal annealer 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.

Why

Why this move works

A metal annealer role treats 4 of its required skills as things a clay kiln burner already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust burner controls
  • inspect quality of products
  • maintain furnace temperature
  • observe products' behaviour under processing conditions

What stands in the way is 13 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A metal annealer 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 adjust burner controls working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • 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
  • already held manage kiln ventilation working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the metal annealer role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 28 missing skills fall into 10 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.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
