1 Share of the leather measuring operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the winding 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.

Why

Why this move works

A leather measuring operator role treats 3 of its required skills as things a winding machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

execute working instructions
maintain equipment
work in textile manufacturing teams

What stands in the way is 3 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 4 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A leather measuring operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a winding machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held work in textile manufacturing teams communication, collaboration and creativity
already held execute working instructions communication, collaboration and creativity
already held use communication techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
already held maintain equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the leather measuring operator 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.
