1 Share of the jeweller role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the filigree 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jeweller role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a filigree maker background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform wire wrapping handling and moving
  • already held perform enamelling constructing
  • already held perform damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
  • already held maintain jewels and watches handling and moving
  • already held build jewellery models handling and moving

All 31 carried skills, including the 12 the jeweller 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.
