38.1/ 100

1 Share of the clothing sample machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wearing apparel patternmaker 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 clothing sample machinist role treats 17 of its required skills as things a wearing apparel patternmaker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • alter wearing apparel
  • apparel manufacturing technology
  • coordinate manufacturing production activities
  • create patterns for garments
  • cut fabrics
  • distinguish accessories

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 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A clothing sample machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wearing apparel patternmaker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held grade patterns for wearing apparel handling and moving
  • already held use 3D scanners for clothing working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate computerised control systems working with computers
  • already held analyse scanned data of the body information skills
  • already held alter wearing apparel handling and moving

All 22 carried skills, including the 17 the clothing sample machinist 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.
