79%
20.5/ 100
1 Share of the clothing cutter role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the clothing fashion designer 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 clothing cutter role treats 10 of its required skills as things a clothing fashion designer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- CAD for garment manufacturing
- coordinate manufacturing production activities
- create patterns for garments
- cut fabrics
- distinguish fabrics
- manufacturing of made-up textile articles
What stands in the way is 2 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A clothing cutter role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a clothing fashion designer background worth leading with.

- already held create patterns for garments handling and moving
- already held manufacturing of made-up textile articles engineering, manufacturing and construction
- already held coordinate manufacturing production activities management skills

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.
