1 Share of the fisheries deckhand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sailor 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 fisheries deckhand role treats 10 of its required skills as things a sailor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist anchoring operations
  • clean ships
  • follow verbal instructions
  • follow work procedures
  • moor vessels
  • operate echo sounding equipment

What stands in the way is 25 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries deckhand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sailor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate echo sounding equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate traditional water depth measurement equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare deck equipment handling and moving
  • already held clean ships handling and moving
  • already held prepare lifeboats working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held assist anchoring operations working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 17 carried skills, including the 10 the fisheries deckhand role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 46 missing skills fall into 12 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.

17 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
