1 Share of the engineered wood board grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the product grader 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 engineered wood board grader role treats 20 of its required skills as things a product grader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • apply safety management
  • conduct performance tests
  • define data quality criteria
  • define quality standards
  • ensure public safety and security

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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A engineered wood board grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a product grader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held grade engineered wood information skills
  • already held define data quality criteria management skills
  • already held revise quality control systems documentation information skills
  • already held apply safety management assisting and caring
  • already held record survey data information skills
  • already held define quality standards management skills

All 28 carried skills, including the 20 the engineered wood board grader role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 10 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

1 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
