1 Share of the filing machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the deburring machine 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 37 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A filing machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a deburring machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held abrasive machining processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held measure flatness of a surface information skills
  • already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held smooth burred surfaces handling and moving
  • already held manufacture of small metal parts engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of metal assembly products engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 37 carried skills, including the 13 the filing machine operator role treats as required.

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.
