42.1/ 100

1 Share of the deep-sea fishery worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fisheries deckhand 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 deep-sea fishery worker role treats 18 of its required skills as things a fisheries deckhand already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assist anchoring operations
  • assist in ship maintenance
  • code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries
  • deterioration of fish products
  • fisheries legislation
  • fishing gear

What stands in the way is 8 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 43 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A deep-sea fishery worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fisheries deckhand background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate ship equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate echo sounding equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate traditional water depth measurement equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held report to captain information skills
  • already held use fishing vessel equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prepare deck equipment handling and moving

All 43 carried skills, including the 18 the deep-sea fishery worker role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 9 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.

5 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
