1 Share of the kettle tender role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the canning and bottling line 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 kettle tender role treats 5 of its required skills as things a canning and bottling line operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • lift heavy weights

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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A kettle tender role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a canning and bottling line operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work independently in service of a food production process management skills
  • already held operate automated process control working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring
  • already held lift heavy weights handling and moving
  • already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring

All 9 carried skills, including the 5 the kettle tender 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.
