1 Share of the finished leather warehouse manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the colour sampling 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A finished leather warehouse manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a colour sampling technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held spray finishing technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather finishing technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held physico-chemical properties of crust leather natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held leather chemistry engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held monitor operations in the leather industry information skills

All 20 carried skills, including the 14 the finished leather warehouse manager role treats as required.

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.
