1 Share of the automated fly bar operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performance video operator 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 automated fly bar operator role treats 27 of its required skills as things a performance video operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt artistic plan to location
  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • attend rehearsals
  • communicate during show
  • consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production
  • draw up artistic production

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held intervene with actions on stage communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held interpret artistic intentions communication, collaboration and creativity

  • already held consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production communication, collaboration and creativity

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.
