1 Share of the jewellery mounter 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.

Why

Why this move works

A jewellery mounter role treats 9 of its required skills as things a filigree maker already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adjust jewellery
  • build jewellery models
  • clean jewellery pieces
  • create jewellery
  • ensure conformance to jewel design specifications
  • jewellery processes

What stands in the way is 3 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 20 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A jewellery mounter 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 damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
  • already held build jewellery models handling and moving
  • already held cultured pearls arts and humanities
  • already held repair jewellery handling and moving

All 20 carried skills, including the 9 the jewellery mounter role treats as required.

4 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.
