1 Share of the office equipment repair technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the ATM repair 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 office equipment repair technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a ATM repair technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply company policies
  • create solutions to problems
  • electronics
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain records of maintenance interventions
  • perform maintenance on installed equipment

What stands in the way is 6 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A office equipment repair technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a ATM repair technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held repair equipment on site working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held report to the team leader information skills
  • already held use repair manuals information skills
  • already held assemble machines handling and moving
  • already held provide customer information related to repairs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held perform maintenance on installed equipment constructing

All 24 carried skills, including the 12 the office equipment repair technician 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.
