1 Share of the choirmaster/choirmistress role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the venue programmer 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 choirmaster/choirmistress role treats 3 of its required skills as things a venue programmer already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • collaborate with music librarians
  • musical genres
  • plan musical performances

What stands in the way is 19 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 5 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A choirmaster/choirmistress role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a venue programmer background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held collaborate with music librarians communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan musical performances management skills
  • already held art-historical values arts and humanities
  • already held musical genres arts and humanities
  • already held business management principles business, administration and law

All 5 carried skills, including the 3 the choirmaster/choirmistress role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 24 missing skills fall into 7 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
