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

  • administer drugs to facilitate breeding
  • anatomy of animals
  • animal behaviour
  • animal welfare
  • animal welfare legislation
  • apply animal hygiene practices

What stands in the way is 8 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A animal artificial insemination technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a animal embryo transfer technician background worth leading with.

  • already held develop an animal handling strategy management skills
  • already held veterinary terminology agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held interview animal owners on animals' conditions communication, collaboration and creativity

All 28 carried skills, including the 17 the animal artificial insemination technician 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.
