1 Share of the move manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mover 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 move manager role treats 4 of its required skills as things a mover already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse requirements for moving goods
  • communicate with customers
  • health and safety measures in transportation
  • use communication devices

What stands in the way is 15 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A move manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mover background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held analyse requirements for moving goods handling and moving
  • already held animal transport regulations business, administration and law
  • already held hazards associated with loading dangerous goods services
  • already held use communication devices working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held health and safety measures in transportation services
  • already held communicate with customers communication, collaboration and creativity

All 6 carried skills, including the 4 the move manager role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
