1 Share of the kitchen unit installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fireplace installer 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 kitchen unit installer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a fireplace installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies
  • install construction profiles
  • load cargo
  • unload cargo
  • use measurement instruments

What stands in the way is 14 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A kitchen unit installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fireplace installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held load cargo handling and moving
  • already held unload cargo handling and moving
  • already held install construction profiles constructing
  • already held maintain work area cleanliness handling and moving
  • already held inspect construction supplies information skills
  • already held use measurement instruments working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 8 carried skills, including the 7 the kitchen unit installer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 41 missing skills fall into 11 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.
