46.5/ 100

1 Share of the aftersales service manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the occupational health and safety 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 aftersales service manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a occupational health and safety inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • apply safety management
  • follow safety precautions in work practices
  • manage health and safety standards

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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aftersales service manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a occupational health and safety inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held adhere to OHSAS 18001 assisting and caring
  • already held follow safety precautions in work practices assisting and caring
  • already held apply safety management assisting and caring
  • already held plan health and safety procedures management skills
  • already held manage health and safety standards assisting and caring
  • already held apply health and safety standards assisting and caring

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the aftersales service manager role treats as required.

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.
