48.3/ 100

1 Share of the street artist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the decorative painter 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 street artist role treats 11 of its required skills as things a decorative painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • contextualise artistic work
  • create artwork
  • create original drawings
  • discuss artwork
  • gather reference materials for artwork
  • intellectual property law

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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A street artist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a decorative painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create original drawings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artworks information skills
  • already held use genre painting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artistic techniques information skills
  • already held collaborate with technical experts on artworks communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
