49.7/ 100

1 Share of the goldsmith role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the jewellery mounter 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 goldsmith role treats 10 of its required skills as things a jewellery mounter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • build jewellery models
  • cast jewellery metal
  • clean jewellery pieces
  • create jewellery
  • develop jewellery designs
  • heat jewellery metals

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

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held perform damascening communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held cast jewellery metal handling and moving
  • already held electroplating metal materials engineering, manufacturing and construction
  • already held build jewellery models handling and moving
  • already held trade in jewellery communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held heat jewellery metals handling and moving

All 21 carried skills, including the 10 the goldsmith 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.
