38%
66.7/ 100
1 Share of the interior landscaper role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the landscape 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 this move works
A interior landscaper role treats 8 of its required skills as things a landscape designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- design principles
- develop architectural plans
- landscaping materials
- perform pest control
- perform weed control operations
- pest control in plants
What stands in the way is 12 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 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A interior landscaper role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a landscape designer background worth leading with.
- already held create landscape designs communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held landscaping materials agriculture, forestry, fisheries and veterinary
- already held develop architectural plans communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held perform pest control assisting and caring
- already held perform weed control operations handling and moving
- already held plant species natural sciences, mathematics and statistics
All 10 carried skills, including the 8 the interior landscaper role treats as required.

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.
