1 Share of the chemical mixer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cylinder filler 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 chemical mixer role treats 2 of its required skills as things a cylinder filler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • check quality of raw materials
  • mathematics

What stands in the way is 11 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chemical mixer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cylinder filler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held load equipment handling and moving
  • already held unload equipment handling and moving
  • already held hazardous waste storage services
  • already held check quality of raw materials information skills
  • already held mathematics natural sciences, mathematics and statistics

All 5 carried skills, including the 2 the chemical mixer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 22 missing skills fall into 8 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.

3 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.
