fisheries assistant engineertoboatswain
A fisheries assistant engineer already meets 38% of what the boatswain role asks for. The move turns on 18 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 68.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the boatswain role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries assistant engineer 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boatswain role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries assistant engineer background worth leading with.

All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the boatswain role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a boatswain role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 operate vessel critical systems skill · occupation specific
- 02 stand watch on vessel skill · occupation specific
- 03 apply fishing maneuvres skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
