1 Share of the hair removal technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the body artist 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 hair removal technician role treats 4 of its required skills as things a body artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • hair removal techniques
  • identify customer's needs
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain equipment

What stands in the way is 8 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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hair removal technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a body artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held hair removal techniques services
  • already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
  • already held administer appointments management skills
  • already held maintain equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held keep personal administration information skills

All 9 carried skills, including the 4 the hair removal technician role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

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.
