1 Share of the motor vehicle assembly supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wood assembly supervisor 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 motor vehicle assembly supervisor role treats 11 of its required skills as things a wood assembly supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

analyse the need for technical resources
coordinate communication within a team
create solutions to problems
evaluate employees work
keep records of work progress
liaise with managers

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 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motor vehicle assembly supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wood assembly supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held coordinate communication within a team communication, collaboration and creativity

already held report on production results information skills
already held check material resources management skills
already held schedule regular machine maintenance management skills
already held recruit personnel management skills

All 23 carried skills, including the 11 the motor vehicle assembly supervisor 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.
