1 Share of the agricultural inspector role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the forestry inspector 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 agricultural inspector role treats 11 of its required skills as things a forestry inspector already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse business processes
  • communicate health and safety measures
  • conduct environmental surveys
  • enforce sanitation procedures
  • ensure compliance with legal requirements
  • environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry

What stands in the way is 7 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A agricultural inspector role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a forestry inspector background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held enforce sanitation procedures assisting and caring
  • already held check payrolls information skills
  • already held communicate health and safety measures communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor work site information skills
  • already held conduct environmental surveys information skills
  • already held environmental legislation in agriculture and forestry business, administration and law

All 14 carried skills, including the 11 the agricultural inspector role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 10 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.

12 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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

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.
