1 Share of the furniture finisher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the marine painter 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 furniture finisher role treats 5 of its required skills as things a marine painter already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • apply colour coats
  • check paint consistency
  • clean painting equipment
  • handle chemical cleaning agents
  • types of paint

What stands in the way is 11 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 8 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A furniture finisher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a marine painter background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held apply colour coats constructing
  • already held check paint consistency information skills
  • already held clean painting equipment handling and moving
  • already held paint spraying techniques arts and humanities
  • already held remove paint constructing
  • already held paint with a paint gun constructing

All 8 carried skills, including the 5 the furniture finisher 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.
