1 Share of the animal welfare inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the animal artificial insemination technician 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 animal welfare inspector role treats 17 of its required skills as things a animal artificial insemination technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • anatomy of animals
  • animal behaviour
  • animal production science
  • animal welfare
  • animal welfare legislation
  • apply safe work practices in a veterinary setting

What stands in the way is 9 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A animal welfare inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a animal artificial insemination technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop an animal handling strategy management skills
  • already held animal production science agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held treat animals ethically assisting and caring
  • already held understand the animal's situation handling and moving
  • already held cope with challenging circumstances in the veterinary sector management skills
  • already held assess animal's condition information skills

All 21 carried skills, including the 17 the animal welfare inspector 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.
