1 Share of the glass painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the glass-blower 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 glass painter role treats 5 of its required skills as things a glass-blower already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • create artwork
  • intellectual property law
  • maintain an artistic portfolio
  • select artistic materials to create artworks
  • submit preliminary artwork

What stands in the way is 10 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A glass painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a glass-blower background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held tend kiln for glass painting working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held glass coatings engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held submit preliminary artwork communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artworks information skills
  • already held collaborate with technical experts on artworks communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artistic techniques information skills

All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the glass painter role treats as required.

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.
