1 Share of the fisheries deckhand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries boatman 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 deckhand role treats 16 of its required skills as things a fisheries boatman already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships
code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
deterioration of fish products
extinguish fires
fire-fighting systems
fisheries legislation

What stands in the way is 19 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries deckhand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries boatman background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held adapt to changes on a boat management skills
already held cope with challenging circumstances in the fishery sector communication, collaboration and creativity
already held work in a multicultural environment in fishery communication, collaboration and creativity
already held deterioration of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
already held handle fish products handling and moving
already held support vessel manoeuvres working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 27 carried skills, including the 16 the fisheries deckhand 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.
