1 Share of the outdoor animator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the assistant outdoor animator 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 outdoor animator role treats 16 of its required skills as things a assistant outdoor animator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • animate in the outdoors
  • assess risk in the outdoors
  • communicate in an outdoor setting
  • empathise with outdoor groups
  • evaluate outdoor activities
  • give feedback on changing circumstances

What stands in the way is 1 required skill 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A outdoor animator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a assistant outdoor animator background worth leading with.

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.
