1 Share of the 3D modeller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the mobile application developer 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 41 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A 3D modeller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a mobile application developer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held migrate existing data working with computers
already held augmented reality information and communication technologies (icts)
already held CoffeeScript information and communication technologies (icts)
already held Erlang information and communication technologies (icts)
already held Smalltalk (computer programming) information and communication technologies (icts)
already held develop creative ideas communication, collaboration and creativity

All 41 carried skills, including the 3 the 3D modeller role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 31 missing skills fall into 7 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.
