1 Share of the nailing machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the laser marking machine operator 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 16 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 laser marking machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held dispose of cutting waste material handling and moving
  • already held remove inadequate workpieces handling and moving
  • already held remove processed workpiece handling and moving
  • already held advise on machinery malfunctions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform machine maintenance working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held record production data for quality control information skills

All 16 carried skills, including the 9 the nailing machine operator role treats as required.

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.
