1 Share of the leather goods production manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather goods production supervisor 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 production manager role treats 17 of its required skills as things a leather goods production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply methods for footwear and leather goods manufacturing
  • calculate the productivity of the production of footwear and leather goods
  • communicate commercial and technical issues in foreign languages
  • innovate in footwear and leather goods industry
  • leather goods components
  • leather goods manufacturing processes

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 36 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather goods production manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather goods production supervisor background worth leading with.

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.
