1 Share of the import export manager in mining, construction and civil engineering machinery role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wholesale merchant in mining, construction and civil engineering machinery 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 import export manager in mining, construction and civil engineering machinery role treats 5 of its required skills as things a wholesale merchant in mining, construction and civil engineering machinery already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • comprehend financial business terminology
  • have computer literacy
  • maintain financial records
  • mining, construction and civil engineering machinery products
  • monitor international market performance

What stands in the way is 20 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

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.
