1 Share of the hair removal technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the aesthetician 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 hair removal technician role treats 8 of its required skills as things a aesthetician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • advise customers on usage of cosmetics
  • cosmetics
  • cosmetics industry
  • identify customer's needs
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain equipment

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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hair removal technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a aesthetician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held treat facial hair assisting and caring
  • already held use laser therapy for skin conditions assisting and caring
  • already held sell cosmetics communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise customers on usage of cosmetics communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held offer cosmetic beauty advice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held cosmetics industry services

All 20 carried skills, including the 8 the hair removal technician 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.
