1 Share of the stone polisher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stone planer 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 stone polisher role treats 12 of its required skills as things a stone planer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure equipment availability
  • inspect stone surface
  • measure materials
  • polish stone surfaces
  • prepare stone for smoothing
  • quality standards

What stands in the way is 6 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stone polisher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stone planer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare stone for smoothing handling and moving
  • already held polish stone by hand handling and moving
  • already held inspect stone surface information skills
  • already held polish stone surfaces handling and moving
  • already held mark stone workpieces handling and moving
  • already held types of stone for working engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 26 carried skills, including the 12 the stone polisher role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 17 missing skills fall into 8 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.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
