1 Share of the jewellery repairer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the watch and clock repairer 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 jewellery repairer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a watch and clock repairer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply company policies
  • maintain customer service
  • maintain equipment
  • provide customer follow-up services
  • provide customer information related to repairs

What stands in the way is 10 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 jewellery repairer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a watch and clock repairer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle jewellery and watches insurance claims communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise customers on jewellery and watches communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held use repair manuals information skills
  • already held ensure compliance with warranty contracts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held keep stock records information skills
  • already held provide customer information related to repairs communication, collaboration and creativity

All 19 carried skills, including the 5 the jewellery repairer 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.
