1 Share of the sewing machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wearing apparel presser 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 sewing machinist role treats 8 of its required skills as things a wearing apparel presser already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • alter wearing apparel
  • apparel manufacturing technology
  • distinguish accessories
  • distinguish fabrics
  • manufacture wearing apparel products
  • manufacturing of made-up textile articles

What stands in the way is 4 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A sewing machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wearing apparel presser background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held alter wearing apparel handling and moving
  • already held manufacture wearing apparel products handling and moving
  • already held manufacturing of made-up textile articles engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held manufacturing of wearing apparel engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held apparel manufacturing technology engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held sew pieces of fabric working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 8 carried skills, including the 8 the sewing machinist role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
