1 Share of the stand-in role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the extra 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 16 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 extra background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held express yourself physically communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt to acting roles communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held harmonise body movements communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held practice dance moves communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held collaborate on costume and make-up for performances communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held practise singing communication, collaboration and creativity

All 16 carried skills, including the 6 the stand-in role treats as required.

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.
