1 Share of the motor vehicle assembly inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the consumer goods 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.

Why

Why this move works

A motor vehicle assembly inspector role treats 9 of its required skills as things a consumer goods inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • conduct performance tests
  • create solutions to problems
  • inspect quality of products
  • manage health and safety standards
  • quality assurance procedures
  • quality standards

What stands in the way is 9 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motor vehicle assembly inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a consumer goods inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held act as contact person during equipment incident assisting and caring
  • already held prepare audit activities management skills
  • already held manage maintenance operations management skills
  • already held lead inspections information skills
  • already held maintain test equipment constructing
  • already held supervise work management skills

All 20 carried skills, including the 9 the motor vehicle assembly 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.
