1 Share of the sewing machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the protective clothing apparel manufacturer 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.

Table 2

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.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • 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.

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.
