1 Share of the art restorer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the exhibition curator 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 art restorer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a exhibition curator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • coordinate operational activities
  • create solutions to problems
  • ensure safety of exhibition
  • museum databases
  • use ICT resources to solve work related tasks

What stands in the way is 6 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 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A art restorer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a exhibition curator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held ensure safety of exhibition assisting and caring
  • already held use ICT resources to solve work related tasks working with computers
  • already held art collections arts and humanities
  • already held evaluate art quality information skills
  • already held museum databases social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held interact with an audience communication, collaboration and creativity

All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the art restorer role treats as required.

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.
