1 Share of the stevedore role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the warehouse order picker 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 stevedore role treats 7 of its required skills as things a warehouse order picker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • lift heavy weights
  • operate material handling equipment
  • operate voice picking systems
  • safety regulations for warehouses
  • stack goods
  • store warehouse goods

What stands in the way is 30 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 stevedore role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a warehouse order picker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate voice picking systems handling and moving
  • already held operate material handling equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held store warehouse goods handling and moving
  • already held safety regulations for warehouses services
  • already held warehouse operations business, administration and law
  • already held stack goods handling and moving

All 7 carried skills, including the 7 the stevedore role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 36 missing skills fall into 10 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
