1 Share of the nailing machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery polisher 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 nailing machine operator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a jewellery polisher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • remove inadequate workpieces
  • remove processed workpiece
  • set up the controller of a machine
  • supply machine

What stands in the way is 7 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A nailing machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery polisher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving
  • already held remove processed workpiece handling and moving
  • already held supply machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up the controller of a machine working with computers

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the nailing machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

1 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.
