1 Share of the pesticide mixer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the paint mixer 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pesticide mixer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a paint mixer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held fill the mixing tank working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held mix treating materials handling and moving
already held clean mixer handling and moving
already held monitor valves information skills
already held write batch record documentation information skills

All 5 carried skills, including the 3 the pesticide mixer 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.
