1 Share of the video technician role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performance rental technician 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 video technician role treats 12 of its required skills as things a performance rental technician already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights
  • prevent fire in a performance environment
  • set up equipment in a timely manner
  • store performance equipment
  • use personal protection equipment

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A video technician role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a performance rental technician background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage signoff of an installed system management skills
  • already held instruct on set up of equipment communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held set up equipment in a timely manner handling and moving
  • already held store performance equipment handling and moving
  • already held ensure safety of mobile electrical systems assisting and caring

All 22 carried skills, including the 12 the video technician 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.
