1 Share of the nailing machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stone driller 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 nailing machine operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a stone driller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • monitor automated machines
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • remove processed workpiece
  • set up the controller of a machine
  • supply machine

What stands in the way is 3 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A nailing machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stone driller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held dispose of cutting waste material handling and moving
  • already held remove processed workpiece handling and moving
  • already held supply machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held consult technical resources information skills
  • already held monitor automated machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up the controller of a machine working with computers

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the nailing machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 12 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
