1 Share of the protective clothing apparel manufacturer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glove maker 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 protective clothing apparel manufacturer role treats 6 of its required skills as things a glove maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics
  • manufacture personal protective equipment made of textile
  • manufacture wearing apparel products
  • sew pieces of fabric
  • sew protective workwear

What stands in the way is 4 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A protective clothing apparel manufacturer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glove maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held sew protective workwear handling and moving
  • already held manufacture personal protective equipment made of textile working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture wearing apparel products handling and moving
  • already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held distinguish accessories information skills
  • already held distinguish fabrics information skills

All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the protective clothing apparel manufacturer 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.
