1 Share of the fisheries deckhand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the deep-sea fishery worker 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 43 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries deckhand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a deep-sea fishery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate echo sounding equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate ship equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate traditional water depth measurement equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held report to captain information skills
  • already held prepare deck equipment handling and moving
  • already held use fishing vessel equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 43 carried skills, including the 29 the fisheries deckhand 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.
