1 Share of the exhibition registrar role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the art restorer 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 exhibition registrar role treats 4 of its required skills as things a art restorer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • ensure safety of exhibition
  • museum databases
  • respect cultural differences in the field of exhibition
  • use ICT resources to solve work related tasks

What stands in the way is 17 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 7 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A exhibition registrar role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a art restorer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure safety of exhibition assisting and caring
  • already held respect cultural differences in the field of exhibition communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use ICT resources to solve work related tasks working with computers
  • already held art collections arts and humanities
  • already held museum databases social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held interact with an audience communication, collaboration and creativity

All 7 carried skills, including the 4 the exhibition registrar role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
