52.5/ 100

1 Share of the jeweller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery 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 jeweller role treats 11 of its required skills as things a jewellery designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust jewellery
  • build jewellery models
  • clean jewellery pieces
  • create jewellery
  • develop jewellery designs
  • ensure conformance to jewel design specifications

What stands in the way is 3 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 16 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jeweller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a jewellery designer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
  • already held build jewellery models handling and moving
  • already held mount stones in jewels handling and moving
  • already held record jewel processing time information skills
  • already held record jewel weight information skills
  • already held repair jewellery handling and moving

All 16 carried skills, including the 11 the jeweller role treats as required.

10 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

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.
