1 Share of the chimney sweep supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the handyperson 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 chimney sweep supervisor role treats 4 of its required skills as things a handyperson already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • domestic heating systems
  • fire safety regulations
  • maintain customer service
  • ventilation systems

What stands in the way is 14 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 chimney sweep supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a handyperson background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ventilation systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held domestic heating systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held energy engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held fire safety regulations services
  • already held construction product regulation business, administration and law
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the chimney sweep supervisor role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
