1 Share of the paint mixer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine painter 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A paint mixer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held prepare paint ingredients handling and moving
already held check paint consistency information skills
already held inspect paint quality information skills
already held lacquer paint applications engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held use color matching techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
already held industrial paint engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the paint mixer 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.
