1 Share of the footwear finishing and packing operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the footwear factory warehouse 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 footwear finishing and packing operator role treats 5 of its required skills as things a footwear factory warehouse operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • footwear components
  • footwear manufacturing technology
  • footwear materials
  • footwear quality
  • perform packing of footwear and leather goods

What stands in the way is 6 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A footwear finishing and packing operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a footwear factory warehouse operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held determine footwear warehouse layout management skills
  • already held perform packing of footwear and leather goods handling and moving
  • already held footwear manufacturing technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear components engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held footwear quality engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 7 carried skills, including the 5 the footwear finishing and packing operator role treats as required.

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.
