1 Share of the fisheries observer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fishing net 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fisheries observer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fishing net maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held fishing gear agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held risks associated with undertaking fishing operations agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held quality of fish products agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held fishing vessels agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held fisheries management agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held work in outdoor conditions assisting and caring

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the fisheries observer role treats as required.

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.
