70%
37.6/ 100
1 Share of the leather production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather raw materials purchasing manager 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 this move works
A leather production manager role treats 24 of its required skills as things a leather raw materials purchasing manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt to changing situations
- create solutions to problems
- health and safety in the workplace
- identify defects on raw hides
- identify with the company's goals
- leather chemistry
What stands in the way is 9 required skills 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather raw materials purchasing manager background worth leading with.
- already held quality control systems engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held source colour chemicals natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held purchase raw material supplies communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held leather finishing technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held leather physical testing engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held physico-chemical properties of crust leather natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
All 24 carried skills, including the 24 the leather production manager role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
