48.9/ 100

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

  • follow health and safety procedures in construction
  • inspect construction supplies
  • protect surfaces during construction work
  • snap chalk line
  • transport construction supplies
  • use measurement instruments

What stands in the way is 6 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 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A paperhanger role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a tile fitter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held snap chalk line handling and moving
  • already held protect surfaces during construction work constructing
  • already held advise on construction materials communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held art history arts and humanities
  • already held transport construction supplies handling and moving
  • already held order construction supplies communication, collaboration and creativity

All 19 carried skills, including the 7 the paperhanger role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 16 missing skills fall into 6 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.

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.
