1 Share of the decorative painter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the street artist 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 decorative painter role treats 10 of its required skills as things a street artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • contextualise artistic work
  • create artwork
  • create original drawings
  • gather reference materials for artwork
  • intellectual property law
  • maintain an artistic portfolio

What stands in the way is 11 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A decorative painter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a street artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create original drawings communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artworks information skills
  • already held use genre painting techniques communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held study artistic techniques information skills
  • already held collaborate with technical experts on artworks communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create artwork communication, collaboration and creativity

All 15 carried skills, including the 10 the decorative painter 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.
