1 Share of the jewellery repairer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jeweller 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 repairer role treats 9 of its required skills as things a jeweller already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adjust jewellery
assemble jewellery parts
clean jewellery pieces
heat jewellery metals
jewellery processes
mount stones in jewels

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

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held assemble jewellery parts handling and moving
already held handle jewellery and watches insurance claims communication, collaboration and creativity
already held mount stones in jewels handling and moving
already held repair jewellery handling and moving
already held build jewellery models handling and moving

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.
