34.3/ 100

1 Share of the fashion model 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 fashion model role treats 8 of its required skills as things a art model already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • attend castings
  • develop professional network
  • harmonise body movements
  • maintain an artistic portfolio
  • maintain personal hygiene standards
  • make-up techniques

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 12 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A fashion model 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 attend castings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held pose in front of a camera communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held attend dress fittings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held make-up techniques services
  • already held harmonise body movements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain an artistic portfolio communication, collaboration and creativity

All 12 carried skills, including the 8 the fashion model role treats as required.

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.
