1 Share of the transport equipment painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the paint mixer 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 transport equipment painter role treats 7 of its required skills as things a paint mixer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

check paint consistency
industrial paint
inspect paint quality
lacquer paint applications
mix paints for vehicles
types of paint

What stands in the way is 24 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A transport equipment painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a paint mixer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held add paint hardeners handling and moving
already held add paint thinners constructing
already held buff finished paintwork constructing
already held check paint consistency information skills
already held inspect paint quality information skills
already held mix paints for vehicles handling and moving

All 12 carried skills, including the 7 the transport equipment painter 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.
