1 Share of the medium 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 medium role treats 3 of its required skills as things a body artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • develop professional network
  • maintain customer service
  • manage personal professional development

What stands in the way is 9 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 medium 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 entertain people communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held manage a small-to-medium business management skills
  • already held administer appointments management skills
  • already held maintain customer service communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held keep personal administration information skills
  • already held manage personal professional development management skills

All 7 carried skills, including the 3 the medium role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 4 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.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
