50/ 100

1 Share of the flour purifier operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the distillery miller 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 flour purifier operator role treats 8 of its required skills as things a distillery miller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply GMP
  • apply HACCP
  • apply requirements concerning manufacturing of food and beverages
  • carry out checks of production plant equipment
  • collect samples for analysis
  • ensure sanitation

What stands in the way is 7 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A flour purifier operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a distillery miller background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform detailed food processing operations working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held keep machines oiled for steady functioning constructing
  • already held carry out checks of production plant equipment constructing
  • already held ensure sanitation handling and moving
  • already held ensure compliance with environmental legislation in food production assisting and caring
  • already held follow hygienic procedures during food processing assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 8 the flour purifier operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

2 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.
