1 Share of the car and van delivery driver role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the motorcycle delivery person 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 car and van delivery driver role treats 12 of its required skills as things a motorcycle delivery person already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • act reliably
  • analyse travel alternatives
  • communicate with customers
  • differentiate types of packages
  • drive in urban areas
  • drive vehicles

What stands in the way is 2 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A car and van delivery driver role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a motorcycle delivery person background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held drive at high speeds working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set payment handling strategies management skills
  • already held ensure the integrity of mail handling and moving
  • already held maintain vehicle delivery documentation management skills
  • already held organise mail deliveries management skills
  • already held differentiate types of packages handling and moving

All 26 carried skills, including the 12 the car and van delivery driver 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.
