1 Share of the milk reception operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the flour purifier operator 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 milk reception operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a flour purifier operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • be at ease in unsafe environments
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • collect samples for analysis

What stands in the way is 12 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A milk reception operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a flour purifier operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held secure goods handling and moving
  • already held keep machines oiled for steady functioning constructing
  • already held food safety principles services
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
  • already held be at ease in unsafe environments management skills

All 19 carried skills, including the 10 the milk reception operator role treats as required.

8 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
