1 Share of the optical instrument production supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the electronics production supervisor 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 optical instrument production supervisor role treats 18 of its required skills as things a electronics production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

evaluate employees work
follow production schedule
inspect quality of products
keep records of work progress
meet deadlines
meet productivity targets

What stands in the way is 5 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 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A optical instrument production supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a electronics production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held chair a meeting communication, collaboration and creativity
already held loading charts for transportation of goods services
already held meet productivity targets management skills
already held manage distribution channels management skills
already held oversee logistics of finished products management skills
already held provide technical documentation management skills

All 29 carried skills, including the 18 the optical instrument production supervisor 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.

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.
