1 Share of the jewellery assembler role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the precious stone cutter 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 jewellery assembler role treats 8 of its required skills as things a precious stone cutter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adjust jewellery
clean jewellery pieces
ensure conformance to jewel design specifications
jewellery processes
repair jewellery
select gems for jewellery

What stands in the way is 4 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 26 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jewellery assembler role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a precious stone cutter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held smoothen rough jewel parts handling and moving
already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
already held repair jewellery handling and moving
already held cultured pearls arts and humanities
already held jewellery product categories arts and humanities
already held record jewel processing time information skills

All 26 carried skills, including the 8 the jewellery assembler 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.
