1 Share of the bulk filler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the food and beverage packaging technologist 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A bulk filler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a food and beverage packaging technologist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held monitor filling machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held food safety principles services
  • already held apply GMP assisting and caring
  • already held apply HACCP assisting and caring
  • already held apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages assisting and caring

All 5 carried skills, including the 5 the bulk filler 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.
