1 Share of the foam rubber mixer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rubber dipping machine operator 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 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A foam rubber mixer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rubber dipping machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held analyse latex samples information skills
already held mix ingredients with latex handling and moving
already held operate latex transfer pump working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held process latex mixtures working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held stir rubber cement mixture working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held mechanics engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 6 carried skills, including the 5 the foam rubber mixer 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.
