1 Share of the leather production machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the twisting 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 leather production machine operator role treats 4 of its required skills as things a twisting machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to changing situations
  • execute working instructions
  • identify with the company's goals
  • use communication techniques

What stands in the way is 2 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather production machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a twisting machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify with the company's goals assisting and caring
  • already held functionalities of machinery engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held execute working instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt to changing situations communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use communication techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the leather production machine operator 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.
