29%
68.7/ 100
1 Share of the hair stylist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sound editor 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 this move works
A hair stylist role treats 6 of its required skills as things a sound editor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- analyse a script
- consult with production director
- familiarise with personal directing styles
- finish project within budget
- follow directions of the artistic director
- follow work schedule
What stands in the way is 10 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 6 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A hair stylist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sound editor background worth leading with.
- already held familiarise with personal directing styles communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held consult with production director communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held follow directions of the artistic director communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held finish project within budget management skills
- already held analyse a script communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held follow work schedule management skills
All 6 carried skills, including the 6 the hair stylist role treats as required.

Table 4 · Where to start
The 3 entries a hair stylist role is least likely to hire without. The ordering is computed from the skill data, not from what pays.
- 01 analyse the need for technical resources skill · sector specific
- 02 apply hair cutting techniques skill · sector specific
- 03 perform quick hair changeovers skill · sector specific
Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

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.
