1 Share of the tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the absorbent pad 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tissue paper perforating and rewinding operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a absorbent pad machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate electric embossing press working with machinery and specialised equipment

  • already held operate paper folding machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held carry out work-related measurements information skills
  • already held tend packaging machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare wood production reports information skills

All 22 carried skills, including the 10 the tissue paper perforating and rewinding 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.
