1 Share of the countryside officer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the interior landscaper 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 countryside officer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a interior landscaper already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • build garden masonry
  • perform pest control
  • perform weed control operations
  • pest control in plants
  • plant disease control
  • plant species

What stands in the way is 24 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A countryside officer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a interior landscaper background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held build garden masonry constructing
  • already held perform pest control assisting and caring
  • already held perform weed control operations handling and moving
  • already held prepare planting area handling and moving
  • already held plant species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held plant disease control agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the countryside officer role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 41 missing skills fall into 11 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.
