1 Share of the coffee grinder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the miller 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A coffee grinder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a miller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held operate grain cleaning machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held tend grinding mill machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held milling machines engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held work in conveyor belts in food manufacturing working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held check processing parameters information skills
already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing

All 16 carried skills, including the 10 the coffee grinder 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.
