53%
46.4/ 100
1 Share of the extract mixer tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the pastry maker 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 this move works
A extract mixer tester role treats 6 of its required skills as things a pastry maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- administer ingredients in food production
- apply GMP
- apply HACCP
- apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
- care for food aesthetic
- operate weighing machine
What stands in the way is 7 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A extract mixer tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a pastry maker background worth leading with.
- already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring
- already held operate weighing machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held analyse characteristics of food products at reception information skills
- already held administer ingredients in food production working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held work in a food processing team communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held follow verbal instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
All 14 carried skills, including the 6 the extract mixer tester role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a extract mixer tester role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 blend food ingredients skill · sector specific
- 02 condiment manufacturing processes knowledge · sector specific
- 03 ensure public safety and security skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
