1 Share of the circus arts teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the circus artist 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 circus arts teacher role treats 12 of its required skills as things a circus artist already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt artistic plan to location
  • balance the project requirements with health and safety concerns
  • check the production schedule
  • circus aesthetics
  • circus dramaturgy
  • circus vocabulary

What stands in the way is 20 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 24 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A circus arts teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a circus artist background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held circus aesthetics arts and humanities
  • already held circus dramaturgy arts and humanities
  • already held circus vocabulary arts and humanities
  • already held practice circus disciplines communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held renew artistic practice communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work with circus group communication, collaboration and creativity

All 24 carried skills, including the 12 the circus arts teacher 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.
