54.8/ 100

1 Share of the carpenter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hardwood floor layer 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 carpenter role treats 15 of its required skills as things a hardwood floor layer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • clean wood surface
  • create smooth wood surface
  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • identify wood warp
  • inspect construction supplies
  • install wood elements in structures

What stands in the way is 10 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A carpenter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hardwood floor layer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify wood warp information skills
  • already held install wood elements in structures constructing
  • already held clean wood surface handling and moving
  • already held join wood elements constructing
  • already held wood cuts engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held use sander handling and moving

All 26 carried skills, including the 15 the carpenter role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 29 missing skills fall into 8 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.
