45.6/ 100

1 Share of the performance hairdresser role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the scenic painter 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 performance hairdresser role treats 8 of its required skills as things a scenic painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • meet deadlines
  • prepare personal work environment
  • translate artistic concepts to technical designs
  • understand artistic concepts
  • work ergonomically

What stands in the way is 5 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 performance hairdresser role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a scenic painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held manage consumables stock management skills

  • already held understand artistic concepts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held prevent fire in a performance environment assisting and caring
  • already held translate artistic concepts to technical designs 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.
