1 Share of the weaving machine supervisor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the weaving machine operator 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.

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 weaving machine supervisor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a weaving machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manufacture textile floor coverings working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held tend weaving machines working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture woven fabrics working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held use weaving machine technologies working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held evaluate textile characteristics information skills
  • already held maintain work standards information skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 8 the weaving machine supervisor 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.
