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

apply GMP
apply HACCP
apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
follow hygienic procedures during food processing
follow production schedule
food safety principles

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sauce production operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a blanching operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

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.
