1 Share of the vehicle maintenance attendant role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the vehicle electronics installer 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 vehicle maintenance attendant role treats 3 of its required skills as things a vehicle electronics installer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply health and safety standards
  • perform manual work autonomously
  • perform technical tasks with great care

What stands in the way is 11 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A vehicle maintenance attendant role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a vehicle electronics installer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform technical tasks with great care working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform manual work autonomously handling and moving
  • already held mechanical tools engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held drive vehicles working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
  • already held apply health and safety standards assisting and caring

All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the vehicle maintenance attendant 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.
