1 Share of the textile dyer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the textile pattern making machine 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 textile dyer role treats 3 of its required skills as things a textile pattern making machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • dyeing technology
  • properties of textile materials
  • tend textile dyeing machines

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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A textile dyer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a textile pattern making machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend textile washing machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend textile dyeing machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend textile finishing machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture woven fabrics working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture knitted textiles working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held use textile finishing machine technologies working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 8 carried skills, including the 3 the textile dyer 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.
