1 Share of the hand brick moulder role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the doll 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 hand brick moulder role treats 5 of its required skills as things a doll maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • extract products from moulds
  • fill moulds
  • maintain moulds
  • select mould types
  • types of pottery material

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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hand brick moulder role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a doll maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held handle different pottery materials handling and moving
  • already held match product moulds handling and moving
  • already held types of pottery material arts and humanities
  • already held select mould types handling and moving
  • already held construct moulds handling and moving
  • already held fill moulds handling and moving

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the hand brick moulder role treats as required.

3 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
