50.1/ 100

1 Share of the household appliances repair technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the power tool repair technician 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 household appliances repair technician role treats 9 of its required skills as things a power tool repair technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply company policies
  • lift heavy weights
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain equipment
  • maintain records of maintenance interventions
  • provide customer follow-up services

What stands in the way is 7 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A household appliances repair technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a power tool repair technician background worth leading with.

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.
