1 Share of the clothing sample machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clothing product grader 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 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A clothing sample machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clothing product grader background worth leading with.

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.
