1 Share of the casting director role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the art model 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 casting director role treats 3 of its required skills as things a art model already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • develop professional network
  • follow directions of the artistic director
  • negotiate with artists

What stands in the way is 11 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 casting director role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a art model background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held negotiate with artists communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held follow directions of the artistic director communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held photography arts and humanities
  • already held develop professional network communication, collaboration and creativity

All 4 carried skills, including the 3 the casting director role treats as required.

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

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
