54.8/ 100

1 Share of the horticulture worker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hop farmer 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 horticulture worker role treats 12 of its required skills as things a hop farmer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • execute fertilisation
  • grow plants
  • harvest crop
  • maintain gardening equipment
  • maintain storage facilities
  • monitor fields

What stands in the way is 4 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A horticulture worker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hop farmer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held maintain gardening equipment constructing
  • already held pick orders of agricultural products handling and moving
  • already held carry out work related calculations in agriculture information skills
  • already held monitor fields handling and moving
  • already held store crops handling and moving
  • already held nurse plants handling and moving

All 28 carried skills, including the 12 the horticulture worker 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.
