1 Share of the artistic painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the conceptual 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 artistic painter role treats 13 of its required skills as things a conceptual artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • art history
  • contextualise artistic work
  • create artwork
  • define artistic approach
  • develop an artistic framework
  • gather reference materials for artwork

What stands in the way is 7 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 21 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A artistic painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a conceptual artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held study artistic techniques information skills
  • already held ensure safety of exercise environment assisting and caring
  • already held create artwork communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held monitor art scene developments information skills
  • already held use artistic materials for drawing communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan art educational activities management skills

All 21 carried skills, including the 13 the artistic painter role treats as required.

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.
