art handlertocollection manager
A art handler already meets 27% of what the collection manager role asks for. The move turns on 14 required skills not yet in the profile.
This move: 73.1 of 100 · substantial
1 Share of the collection manager role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the art handler 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 · What you already bring
Of the 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A collection manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a art handler background worth leading with.

- already held advise on loans of art work for exhibitions management skills
- already held assess museum object condition information skills
- already held handle artworks handling and moving
- already held present exhibition communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held conservation techniques arts and humanities
All 7 carried skills, including the 6 the collection manager role treats as required.

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.
