1 Share of the print studio supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wood factory manager 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 print studio supervisor role treats 15 of its required skills as things a wood factory manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • create manufacturing guidelines
  • define manufacturing quality criteria
  • develop manufacturing policies
  • ensure equipment availability
  • follow company standards

What stands in the way is 10 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A print studio supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wood factory manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create manufacturing guidelines management skills
  • already held develop manufacturing policies management skills
  • already held liaise with shareholders communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate improvement with suppliers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held meet contract specifications communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate terms with suppliers communication, collaboration and creativity

All 22 carried skills, including the 15 the print studio 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.
