1 Share of the power plant manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the print studio 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 power plant manager role treats 13 of its required skills as things a print studio supervisor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adhere to organisational guidelines
create manufacturing guidelines
define manufacturing quality criteria
develop manufacturing policies
ensure equipment availability
follow company standards

What stands in the way is 13 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A power plant manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a print studio supervisor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

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.
