1 Share of the electronics production supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the optical instrument 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 electronics production supervisor role treats 18 of its required skills as things a optical instrument production supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • evaluate employees work
  • follow production schedule
  • inspect quality of products
  • keep records of work progress
  • meet deadlines
  • meet productivity targets

What stands in the way is 9 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 29 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A electronics production supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a optical instrument production supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held chair a meeting communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held loading charts for transportation of goods services
  • already held meet productivity targets management skills
  • already held manage distribution channels management skills
  • already held oversee logistics of finished products management skills
  • already held provide technical documentation management skills

All 29 carried skills, including the 18 the electronics production supervisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 25 missing skills fall into 7 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.

15 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
