1 Share of the boring machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wood boring 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A boring machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wood boring machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held types of boring heads engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held types of drill bits engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held tend boring machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held cutting technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held dispose of cutting waste material handling and moving
already held monitor conveyor belt information skills

All 24 carried skills, including the 14 the boring 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.
