1 Share of the cigar inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cigar brander 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 cigar inspector role treats 11 of its required skills as things a cigar brander already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • check quality of products on the production line
  • compute average weight of cigarettes
  • history of tobacco

What stands in the way is 12 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cigar inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cigar brander background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform test in cigarette-making machine information skills
  • already held compute average weight of cigarettes information skills
  • already held history of tobacco arts and humanities
  • already held quality prototype of a tobacco leaf engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of smoked tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held variety of tobacco leaves engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 17 carried skills, including the 11 the cigar inspector role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

4 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
