1 Share of the raw materials warehouse specialist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the leather production manager 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 raw materials warehouse specialist role treats 10 of its required skills as things a leather production manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to changing situations
  • create solutions to problems
  • identify defects on raw hides
  • identify with the company's goals
  • physico-chemical properties of crust leather
  • physico-chemical properties of hides and skins

What stands in the way is 10 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A raw materials warehouse specialist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a leather production manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held purchase raw material supplies communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held leather physical testing engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held physico-chemical properties of crust leather natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
  • already held leather chemistry engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held physico-chemical properties of hides and skins engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held monitor operations in the leather industry information skills

All 17 carried skills, including the 10 the raw materials warehouse specialist role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 missing skills fall into 7 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.
