59.5/ 100
1 How much of what a sewing machinist is expected to do is already part of a protective clothing apparel manufacturer’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 sewing machinist role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A sewing machinist role treats 4 of its required skills as things a protective clothing apparel manufacturer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- distinguish accessories
- distinguish fabrics
- manufacture wearing apparel products
- sew pieces of fabric
What stands in the way is 8 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewing machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a protective clothing apparel manufacturer background worth leading with.
- already held manufacture personal protective equipment made of textile working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held manufacture wearing apparel products handling and moving
- already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held distinguish accessories information skills
- already held distinguish fabrics information skills
All 5 carried skills, including the 4 the sewing machinist role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 3 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.
