1 Share of the clothing quality inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clothing cutter 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 clothing quality inspector role treats 9 of its required skills as things a clothing cutter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • coordinate manufacturing production activities
  • create patterns for garments
  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics
  • manufacturing of made-up textile articles
  • manufacturing of wearing apparel

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate computerised control systems working with computers
  • already held CAD for garment manufacturing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held create patterns for garments handling and moving
  • already held manufacturing of made-up textile articles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held coordinate manufacturing production activities management skills
  • already held manufacturing of wearing apparel engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 11 carried skills, including the 9 the clothing quality inspector 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.
