1 Share of the stand-in role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the costume attendant 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 stand-in role treats 7 of its required skills as things a costume attendant already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • analyse a script
  • attend rehearsals
  • follow directions of the artistic director
  • follow work schedule
  • work with the camera crew
  • work with the director of photography

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 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stand-in role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a costume attendant background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work with the camera crew communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work with the lighting crew communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work with the director of photography communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held lighting techniques arts and humanities
  • already held follow directions of the artistic director communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held attend rehearsals communication, collaboration and creativity

All 9 carried skills, including the 7 the stand-in role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 18 missing skills fall into 3 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.
