1 Share of the paper cutter operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the corrugator 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.

Why

Why this move works

A paper cutter operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a corrugator operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust cut sizes
  • keep sheet records
  • monitor automated machines
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • set up the controller of a machine

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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A paper cutter operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a corrugator operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held keep sheet records information skills
  • already held operate board slotting machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held carry out work-related measurements information skills
  • already held replace sawing blade on machine handling and moving
  • already held adjust cut sizes handling and moving
  • already held types of paper engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 20 carried skills, including the 11 the paper cutter operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 15 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.

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.
