1 How much of what a tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator is expected to do is already part of a paper pulp moulding operator’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 tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a paper pulp moulding operator already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor conveyor belt
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • set up the controller of a machine
  • supply machine

What stands in the way is 5 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 25 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a paper pulp moulding operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held feed pulp mixing vat working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate pulper working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held grade pulp information skills
  • already held deinking processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held coordinate shipments of recycling materials management skills
  • already held tend packaging machines working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 25 carried skills, including the 10 the tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 15 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
