1 Share of the blender operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the animal feed supervisor 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 blender operator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a animal feed supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

apply GMP
apply HACCP
apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
collect samples for analysis
ensure sanitation
examine production samples

What stands in the way is 7 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A blender operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a animal feed supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held examine production samples information skills
already held exert quality control to processing food information skills
already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring
already held collect samples for analysis handling and moving
already held apply GMP assisting and caring

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the blender 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.
