1 Share of the road sign installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the kitchen unit installer 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 road sign installer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a kitchen unit installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

follow health and safety procedures in construction
inspect construction supplies
interpret 2D plans
interpret 3D plans
operate GPS systems
operate hand drill

What stands in the way is 5 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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A road sign installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a kitchen unit installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held operate hand drill handling and moving
already held operate GPS systems working with computers
already held interpret 2D plans information skills
already held interpret 3D plans information skills
already held process incoming construction supplies information skills
already held inspect construction supplies information skills

All 13 carried skills, including the 8 the road sign installer 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.
