1 Share of the motorcycle assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motor vehicle engine assembler 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 motorcycle assembler role treats 11 of its required skills as things a motor vehicle engine assembler already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

align components
apply health and safety standards
fasten components
keep records of work progress
mechanics of motor vehicles
quality standards

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A motorcycle assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motor vehicle engine assembler background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held mechanics of motor vehicles engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held recognise signs of corrosion information skills
already held use power tools handling and moving
already held align components handling and moving
already held write records for repairs information skills
already held fasten components handling and moving

All 20 carried skills, including the 11 the motorcycle assembler 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.
