1 Share of the bulk filler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the starch extraction 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.

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 bulk filler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a starch extraction operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work in a food processing team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow verbal instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow written instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring
  • already held act reliably communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply GMP assisting and caring

All 11 carried skills, including the 7 the bulk filler 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.
