huntertogame keeper
A hunter already meets 29% of what the game keeper role asks for. The move turns on 9 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 68.4 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the game keeper role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the hunter 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 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A game keeper role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a hunter background worth leading with.
- already held manage game management plans management skills
- already held understand game species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
- already held wild game meat food safety requirements services
- already held coordinate the sale of game communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held hire beaters management skills
- already held train gun dogs handling and moving
All 6 carried skills, including the 3 the game keeper role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a game keeper role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 control the production of game meat for human consumption skill · occupation specific
- 02 maintain game equipment skill · occupation specific
- 03 manage habitats to benefit game skill · occupation specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
