1 Share of the milliner role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the fashion designer 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 milliner role treats 1 of its required skills as things a fashion designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • design wearing apparel

What stands in the way is 6 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 3 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A milliner role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a fashion designer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held design wearing apparel communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held history of fashion arts and humanities
  • already held use textile technique for hand-made products handling and moving

All 3 carried skills, including the 1 the milliner 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.
