1 Share of the livestock advisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the poultry sexer 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 livestock advisor role treats 9 of its required skills as things a poultry sexer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animal nutrition
  • animal welfare legislation
  • biosecurity
  • livestock farming systems
  • livestock feeding
  • livestock reproduction

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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A livestock advisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a poultry sexer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held livestock selection principles agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held quality criteria for livestock feed production agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held livestock farming systems agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held livestock feeding agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
  • already held feed livestock handling and moving
  • already held monitor livestock handling and moving

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the livestock advisor role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 33 missing skills fall into 12 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.

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.
