47.1/ 100

1 Share of the cacao bean roaster role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dryer attendant 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 cacao bean roaster role treats 13 of its required skills as things a dryer attendant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply different roasting methods
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • check processing parameters
  • collect samples for analysis

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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cacao bean roaster role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dryer attendant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend fans for machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held apply different roasting methods handling and moving
  • already held operate industrial ovens working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain industrial ovens constructing
  • already held stand high temperatures assisting and caring
  • already held handle flammable substances handling and moving

All 21 carried skills, including the 13 the cacao bean roaster role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
