1 Share of the motorcycle delivery person role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mail clerk 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 motorcycle delivery person role treats 4 of its required skills as things a mail clerk already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • differentiate types of packages
  • ensure the integrity of mail
  • establish daily priorities
  • organise mail deliveries

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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motorcycle delivery person role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mail clerk background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure the integrity of mail handling and moving
  • already held organise mail deliveries management skills
  • already held differentiate types of packages handling and moving
  • already held establish daily priorities management skills

All 4 carried skills, including the 4 the motorcycle delivery person role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
