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

  • determine image composition
  • maintain photographic equipment
  • select photographic equipment
  • select photos
  • set up photographic equipment

What stands in the way is 17 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 17 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A photography teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a photographer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held create artificial light communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held measure light levels information skills
  • already held select auxiliary equipment for photographic work working with machinery and specialised equipment
  • already held set up photographic exhibitions communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held select photos handling and moving
  • already held determine image composition communication, collaboration and creativity

All 17 carried skills, including the 5 the photography teacher 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.
