1 Share of the paper bag machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the envelope maker 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 paper bag machine operator role treats 10 of its required skills as things a envelope maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor conveyor belt
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • set up the controller of a machine
  • supply machine

What stands in the way is 4 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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A paper bag machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a envelope maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held remove excess glue handling and moving
  • already held prevent paper jams management skills
  • already held trim excess material handling and moving
  • already held types of paper engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held prepare wood production reports information skills
  • already held clean equipment handling and moving

All 22 carried skills, including the 10 the paper bag 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.
