1 Share of the lacquer maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the rubber products 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 · What you already bring

Of the 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A lacquer maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a rubber products machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held add colour constructing
  • already held clean mixer handling and moving
  • already held handle delivery of raw materials handling and moving
  • already held measure materials information skills
  • already held report test findings information skills
  • already held optimise production processes parameters communication, collaboration and creativity

All 21 carried skills, including the 6 the lacquer maker role treats as required.

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.
