1 Share of the stage machinist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the media integration operator 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 stage machinist role treats 22 of its required skills as things a media integration operator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt artistic plan to location
  • adapt to artists' creative demands
  • attend rehearsals
  • communicate during show
  • draw up artistic production
  • follow safety procedures when working at heights

What stands in the way is 12 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 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A stage machinist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a media integration operator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held intervene with actions on stage communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held interpret artistic intentions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain system layout for a production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held support a designer in the developing process communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held assemble performance equipment working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held update design results during rehearsals communication, collaboration and creativity

All 28 carried skills, including the 22 the stage machinist role treats as required.

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.
