1 Share of the flour purifier operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the chilling 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.

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 flour purifier operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chilling operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held check quality of products on the production line information skills
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
  • already held follow production schedule management skills
  • already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring
  • already held collect samples for analysis handling and moving

All 9 carried skills, including the 8 the flour purifier 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.
