48%
61.4/ 100
1 Share of the fur animals breeder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the zoo section leader 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 this move works
A fur animals breeder role treats 14 of its required skills as things a zoo section leader already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- administer drugs to facilitate breeding
- administer treatment to animals
- animal nutrition
- apply animal hygiene practices
- assist in transportation of animals
- care for juvenile animals
What stands in the way is 15 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fur animals breeder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a zoo section leader background worth leading with.
- already held assess management of animals information skills
- already held care for juvenile animals handling and moving
- already held administer drugs to facilitate breeding handling and moving
- already held administer treatment to animals handling and moving
- already held train livestock and captive animals handling and moving
- already held assess animal nutrition information skills
All 20 carried skills, including the 14 the fur animals breeder role treats as required.

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.
