1 Share of the pulp grader role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the product grader 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A pulp grader role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a product grader background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held grade pulp information skills
  • already held define data quality criteria management skills
  • already held revise quality control systems documentation information skills
  • already held apply safety management assisting and caring
  • already held record survey data information skills
  • already held define quality standards management skills

All 28 carried skills, including the 19 the pulp grader role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
