46/ 100
1 How much of what an ATM repair technician is expected to do is already part of a mobile phone repair technician’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 ATM repair technician role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
An ATM repair technician role treats 9 of its required skills as things a mobile phone repair technician already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- apply company policies
- create solutions to problems
- electronics
- maintain customer service
- perform test run
- provide customer follow-up services
What stands in the way is 8 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An ATM repair technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mobile phone repair technician background worth leading with.
- already held report to the team leader information skills
- already held install software working with computers
- already held use repair manuals information skills
- already held work in shifts communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held provide customer information related to repairs communication, collaboration and creativity

Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 15 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
