1 Share of the jewellery assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the filigree maker 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 jewellery assembler role treats 10 of its required skills as things a filigree maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust jewellery
  • clean jewellery pieces
  • ensure conformance to jewel design specifications
  • jewellery processes
  • mount stones in jewels
  • repair jewellery

What stands in the way is 2 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 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jewellery assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a filigree maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform wire wrapping handling and moving
  • already held smoothen rough jewel parts handling and moving
  • already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
  • already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
  • already held mount stones in jewels handling and moving
  • already held repair jewellery handling and moving

All 31 carried skills, including the 10 the jewellery assembler role treats as required.

Table 3

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 11 missing skills fall into 5 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.

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.
