A basketmaker already meets 20% of what the furniture restorer role asks for. The move turns on 13 required skills not yet in the profile.
20%
78.8/ 100
1 Share of the furniture restorer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the basketmaker 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 this move works
A furniture restorer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a basketmaker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- apply restoration techniques
- estimate restoration costs
- evaluate restoration procedures
- operate wood sawing equipment
- types of wood
What stands in the way is 13 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A furniture restorer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a basketmaker background worth leading with.
- already held operate wood sawing equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
- already held evaluate restoration procedures information skills
- already held apply restoration techniques constructing
- already held estimate restoration costs information skills
- already held types of wood engineering, manufacturing and construction
All 5 carried skills, including the 5 the furniture restorer role treats as required.
Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a furniture restorer role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 document restoration skill · occupation specific
- 02 art history knowledge · sector specific
- 03 assess conservation needs skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
