1 Share of the dancer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the artistic coach 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 dancer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a artistic coach already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • describe artistic experience
  • maintain safe working conditions in performing arts
  • manage artistic career
  • manage personal professional development
  • understand the emotional dimension of a performance
  • work with broad variety of personalities

What stands in the way is 25 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A dancer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a artistic coach background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work with broad variety of personalities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held match needs of target community with your skills management skills
  • already held inspire enthusiasm for dance management skills
  • already held teach dance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held analyse your fight discipline expertise management skills
  • already held be a role model in community arts management skills

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.
