1 Share of the chilling operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sauce production 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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chilling operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sauce production operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held care for food aesthetic assisting and caring

already held execute chilling processes to food products working with machinery and specialised equipment
already held food storage engineering, manufacturing and construction
already held check quality of products on the production line information skills
already held clean food and beverage machinery handling and moving

All 12 carried skills, including the 11 the chilling operator 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.
