1 Share of the stagehand role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the automated fly bar operator 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 stagehand role treats 15 of its required skills as things a automated fly bar operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assemble scenic elements on stage
  • assemble the rehearsal set
  • dismantle the rehearsal set
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights
  • handle scenic elements during rehearsal
  • manage personal professional development

What stands in the way is 2 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 stagehand role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a automated fly bar operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held dismantle the rehearsal set handling and moving
  • already held handle scenic elements during rehearsal communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assemble scenic elements on stage constructing
  • already held assemble the rehearsal set constructing
  • already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform first fire intervention assisting and caring

All 19 carried skills, including the 15 the stagehand role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 13 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.
