32.8/ 100

1 Share of the street artist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the artistic painter 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 street artist role treats 13 of its required skills as things a artistic painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • art history
  • contextualise artistic work
  • create artwork
  • create original drawings
  • discuss artwork
  • gather reference materials for artwork

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

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.
