1 Share of the fisheries assistant engineer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the deep-sea fishery worker 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 fisheries assistant engineer role treats 8 of its required skills as things a deep-sea fishery worker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
  • extinguish fires
  • fisheries legislation
  • international regulations for preventing collisions at sea
  • operate ship rescue machinery
  • risks associated with undertaking fishing operations

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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries assistant engineer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a deep-sea fishery worker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate ship rescue machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held communicate using the global maritime distress and safety system working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships business, administration and law
  • already held fisheries legislation agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the fisheries assistant engineer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 8 missing skills fall into 7 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.

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.
