This move: 32.1 of 100 · moderate

1 Share of the leather measuring operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hide grader 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather measuring operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hide grader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held physico-chemical properties of crust leather natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held physico-chemical properties of hides and skins engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held identify defects on raw hides information skills
  • already held identify with the company's goals assisting and caring
  • already held manage environmental impact of operations assisting and caring
  • already held health and safety in the workplace services

All 11 carried skills, including the 4 the leather measuring operator 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.
