1 Share of the ATM repair technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the consumer electronics repair 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.

Why

Why this move works

A ATM repair technician role treats 11 of its required skills as things a consumer electronics repair technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply company policies
  • create solutions to problems
  • electronics
  • lift heavy weights
  • maintain customer service
  • provide customer follow-up services

What stands in the way is 6 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A ATM repair technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a consumer electronics repair technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held repair equipment on site working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held report to the team leader information skills
  • already held use repair manuals information skills
  • already held provide customer information related to repairs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held make independent operating decisions management skills
  • already held replace defect components working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 21 carried skills, including the 11 the ATM repair technician role treats as required.

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.
