1 Share of the photography teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the survival instructor 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 11 of its required skills as things a survival instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adapt teaching to student's capabilities
apply teaching strategies
assess students
assist students with equipment
consult students on learning content
demonstrate when teaching

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 13 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 survival instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area

already held consult students on learning content communication, collaboration and creativity
already held encourage students to acknowledge their achievements management skills
already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
already held assist students with equipment assisting and caring
already held demonstrate when teaching communication, collaboration and creativity

All 13 carried skills, including the 11 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.
