1 Share of the performance video operator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the stage machinist 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 performance video operator role treats 27 of its required skills as things a stage machinist 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
  • consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production
  • draw up artistic production

What stands in the way is 5 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 46 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performance video operator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a stage machinist 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 instruct on set up of equipment communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held maintain system layout for a production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held consult with stakeholders on implementation of a production communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held coach staff for running the performance communication, collaboration and creativity

All 46 carried skills, including the 27 the performance video operator 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.
