1 Share of the product grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the metal product quality control inspector 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 product grader role treats 15 of its required skills as things a metal product quality control inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply safety management
  • create solutions to problems
  • define data quality criteria
  • define quality standards
  • ensure public safety and security
  • inspect quality of products
Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A product grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a metal product quality control inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held database quality standards information and communication technologies (icts)
  • already held define data quality criteria management skills
  • already held revise quality control systems documentation information skills
  • already held apply safety management assisting and caring
  • already held record survey data information skills
  • already held define quality standards management skills

All 27 carried skills, including the 15 the product grader role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
