52.8/ 100

1 Share of the doll 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 doll maker role treats 9 of its required skills as things a recreation model maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply a protective layer
  • assemble toys
  • ensure finished product meet requirements
  • inspect toys and games for damage
  • pack goods
  • perform toys finishing

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 18 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A doll 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 assemble toys handling and moving
  • already held perform toys finishing handling and moving
  • already held inspect toys and games for damage information skills
  • already held toys and games trends business, administration and law
  • already held toys and games safety recommendations services
  • already held toys and games industry business, administration and law

All 18 carried skills, including the 9 the doll maker role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 26 missing skills fall into 8 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.

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.
