1 Share of the extract mixer tester role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sauce production operator 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 extract mixer tester role treats 11 of its required skills as things a sauce production operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • administer ingredients in food production
  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • blend food ingredients
  • care for food aesthetic

What stands in the way is 2 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 extract mixer tester role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sauce production operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate sieves for spices working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend spice mixing machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held types of condiments engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held condiment manufacturing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held blend food ingredients handling and moving
  • already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 11 the extract mixer tester 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.
