1 Share of the embroidery machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the made-up textile articles manufacturer 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 embroidery machine operator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a made-up textile articles manufacturer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • decorate textile articles
  • embroider fabrics
  • manufacturing of made-up textile articles
  • manufacturing of wearing apparel

What stands in the way is 4 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A embroidery machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a made-up textile articles manufacturer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held embroider fabrics handling and moving
  • already held manufacturing of made-up textile articles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of wearing apparel engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held decorate textile articles working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the embroidery machine operator 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.
