1 Share of the street food vendor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cook 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 street food vendor role treats 2 of its required skills as things a cook already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • execute chilling processes to food products
  • use cooking techniques

What stands in the way is 13 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street food vendor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cook background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held cook dairy products assisting and caring
  • already held cook meat dishes assisting and caring
  • already held cook sauce products assisting and caring
  • already held cook seafood assisting and caring
  • already held cook vegetable products assisting and caring
  • already held prepare bakery products handling and moving

All 8 carried skills, including the 2 the street food vendor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
