1 Share of the aquaculture husbandry manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aquaculture mooring manager 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 aquaculture husbandry manager role treats 7 of its required skills as things a aquaculture mooring manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

effect of water currents
ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety
ensure cage safety requirements are followed
fish biology
fish welfare regulations
fishing industry

What stands in the way is 32 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A aquaculture husbandry manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aquaculture mooring manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held effect of water currents agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held ensure cage safety requirements are followed assisting and caring
already held prepare for small craft operation working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held operate small craft working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held fish welfare regulations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held ensure aquaculture personnel health and safety assisting and caring

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the aquaculture husbandry manager 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.
