1 Share of the container equipment assembly supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the metal 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 container equipment assembly supervisor role treats 7 of its required skills as things a metal production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • coordinate communication within a team
  • ensure finished product meet requirements
  • evaluate employees work
  • keep records of work progress
  • liaise with managers
  • plan shifts of employees

What stands in the way is 11 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A container equipment assembly supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a metal production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held coordinate communication within a team communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held liaise with quality assurance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held ensure finished product meet requirements management skills
  • already held identify hazards in the workplace information skills
  • already held monitor manufacturing quality standards information skills
  • already held evaluate employees work management skills

All 14 carried skills, including the 7 the container equipment assembly supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 9 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.
