42.5/ 100

1 Share of the pizzaiolo role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the private chef 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 pizzaiolo role treats 8 of its required skills as things a private chef already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comply with food safety and hygiene
  • ensure cleanliness of food preparation area
  • plan menus
  • prepare pizza
  • store raw food materials
  • use cooking techniques

What stands in the way is 6 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pizzaiolo role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a private chef background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare pizza assisting and caring
  • already held store kitchen supplies handling and moving
  • already held ensure cleanliness of food preparation area information skills
  • already held plan menus communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use food cutting tools handling and moving
  • already held create decorative food displays communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 8 the pizzaiolo 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.
