1 Share of the stone driller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stone polisher 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stone driller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stone polisher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held wash stone handling and moving
  • already held mark stone workpieces handling and moving
  • already held types of stone for working engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held measure materials information skills
  • already held operate forklift working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held quality and cycle time optimisation engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 19 carried skills, including the 8 the stone driller 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.
