1 Share of the metal annealer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glass annealer 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A metal annealer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glass annealer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held restore trays working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held adjust burner controls working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held observe products' behaviour under processing conditions information skills
  • already held operate drying blowers working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held record production data information skills
  • already held monitor end-product drying process working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 28 carried skills, including the 14 the metal annealer 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.
