34%
64.6/ 100
1 Share of the frame maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the furniture upholsterer 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 this move works
A frame maker role treats 2 of its required skills as things a furniture upholsterer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply a protective layer
- manipulate wood
What stands in the way is 11 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A frame maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a furniture upholsterer background worth leading with.
- already held age furniture artificially handling and moving
- already held fix minor scratches handling and moving
- already held decorate furniture communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held prepare furniture for application of paint constructing
- already held paint decorative designs communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held clean furniture handling and moving
All 16 carried skills, including the 2 the frame maker role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a frame maker role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 build picture frames skill · occupation specific
- 02 match frames to pictures skill · occupation specific
- 03 cut glass skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
