What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A leather measuring operator role treats 5 of its required skills as things a leather production machine operator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

What stands in the way is 1 required skill the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 14 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 leather production machine operator background worth leading with.
- already held leather technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held physico-chemical properties of hides and skins engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held monitor operations in the leather industry information skills
- already held identify defects on raw hides information skills
- already held identify with the company's goals assisting and caring

Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 5 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.
- still to learn stay alert required
- optional, not held address problems critically optional
- optional, not held carry out work-related measurements optional
- optional, not held physico-chemical properties of crust leather optional
- optional, not held use IT tools optional
