1 Share of the clothing sample machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the tailor 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 clothing sample machinist role treats 19 of its required skills as things a tailor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • 3D body scanning technologies
  • alter wearing apparel
  • apparel manufacturing technology
  • create patterns for garments
  • cut fabrics
  • distinguish accessories

What stands in the way is 5 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A clothing sample machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tailor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held fabric spreading in the fashion industry arts and humanities
  • already held marker making arts and humanities
  • already held 3D body scanning technologies health and welfare
  • already held grade patterns for wearing apparel handling and moving
  • already held bundle fabrics handling and moving
  • already held use 3D scanners for clothing working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 27 carried skills, including the 19 the clothing sample machinist 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.
