1 How much of what a raw materials warehouse specialist is expected to do is already part of a leather wet processing department manager’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the raw materials warehouse specialist role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A raw materials warehouse specialist role treats 11 of its required skills as things a leather wet processing department manager already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adapt to changing situations
  • create solutions to problems
  • execute working instructions
  • identify defects on raw hides
  • identify with the company's goals
  • physico-chemical properties of crust leather

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A raw materials warehouse specialist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather wet processing department manager background worth leading with.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
