1 Share of the frame maker role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the wicker furniture maker 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 frame maker role treats 6 of its required skills as things a wicker furniture maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply a protective layer
  • apply wood finishes
  • create smooth wood surface
  • operate wood sawing equipment
  • organic building materials
  • sand wood

What stands in the way is 7 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 frame maker role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a wicker furniture maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held prepare furniture for application of paint constructing
  • already held sell household goods communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held sell furniture communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held apply wood finishes constructing
  • already held organic building materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held handle delivery of furniture goods handling and moving

All 15 carried skills, including the 6 the frame maker 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.
