1 Share of the leather goods warehouse operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather goods packing operator 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 leather goods warehouse operator role treats 6 of its required skills as things a leather goods packing operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • determine leather goods warehouse layout
  • leather goods components
  • leather goods manufacturing processes
  • leather goods materials
  • leather goods quality
  • use IT tools

What stands in the way is 3 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather goods warehouse operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather goods packing operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

  • already held leather goods manufacturing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather goods quality engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather goods components engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held leather goods materials engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 9 carried skills, including the 6 the leather goods warehouse operator 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.
