1 Share of the V-belt builder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the V-belt finisher 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.

Why

Why this move works

A V-belt builder role treats 3 of its required skills as things a V-belt finisher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • measure materials
  • monitor valves
  • place V-belts on rack

What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A V-belt builder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a V-belt finisher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held place V-belts on rack handling and moving
  • already held fasten rubber goods handling and moving
  • already held monitor valves information skills
  • already held measure materials information skills
  • already held operate forklift working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held report defective manufacturing materials information skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 3 the V-belt builder 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.
