1 Share of the tent installer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the set builder 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 tent installer role treats 7 of its required skills as things a set builder already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • follow safety procedures when working at heights
  • prevent fire in a performance environment
  • use personal protection equipment
  • work ergonomically
  • work safely with machines
  • work safely with mobile electrical systems under supervision

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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tent installer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a set builder background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held operate telehandler working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held perform first fire intervention assisting and caring
  • already held manage technical resources stock management skills
  • already held work safely with mobile electrical systems under supervision working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held prevent fire in a performance environment assisting and caring
  • already held operate forklift working with machinery and specialised equipment

All 14 carried skills, including the 7 the tent installer 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.
