1 Share of the chain making machine operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wire 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.

Why

Why this move works

A chain making machine operator role treats 11 of its required skills as things a wire weaving machine operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure equipment availability
  • monitor automated machines
  • monitor moving workpiece in a machine
  • perform test run
  • quality standards
  • remove inadequate workpieces

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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A chain making machine operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wire weaving machine operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held safely handle metal wire under tension handling and moving
  • already held metal drawing processes engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held dies engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held monitor moving workpiece in a machine working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manufacture of small metal parts engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held metal forming technologies engineering, manufacturing and construction

All 24 carried skills, including the 11 the chain making machine operator role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 9 missing skills fall into 5 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.

The 3 entries a chain making machine operator role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
