1 Share of the brush maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the recreation model maker 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 brush maker role treats 7 of its required skills as things a recreation model maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply a protective layer
  • create smooth wood surface
  • manipulate plastic
  • manipulate wood
  • operate plastic machinery
  • operate wood sawing equipment

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 13 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A brush maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a recreation model maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held repair plastic machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held operate plastic machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held maintain plastic machinery working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held finish plastic products working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held manipulate plastic working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held stain wood handling and moving

All 13 carried skills, including the 7 the brush maker 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.
