1 Share of the cigar brander role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leaf sorter 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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A cigar brander role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leaf sorter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held quality prototype of a tobacco leaf engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held history of tobacco arts and humanities
  • already held manufacturing of smoked tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held variety of tobacco leaves engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held determine shreds sizes percentage in cigarettes information skills
  • already held tobacco products engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 14 carried skills, including the 7 the cigar brander role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
