1 Share of the antique furniture reproducer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the cabinet maker 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 antique furniture reproducer role treats 12 of its required skills as things a cabinet maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply a protective layer
  • clean furniture
  • create furniture frames
  • create smooth wood surface
  • decorate furniture
  • furniture trends

What stands in the way is 4 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 27 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A antique furniture reproducer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a cabinet maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create furniture frames handling and moving
  • already held design original furniture communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held carve materials handling and moving
  • already held fix minor scratches handling and moving
  • already held decorate furniture communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held repair furniture parts handling and moving

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.
