FAQ

What is Skillsminer?

Skillsminer technology empowers individuals to create career pathways to employment. Our skills analysis tool translates individual’s abilities into new occupational areas.

How do you know what other occupations I can do?

This is what we specialise in. Our platform looks at you and your skills and calculates which occupations require those skills. We have nearly 3,000 occupations in our database meaning we can find your ideal career.

So whether you want to do something new, you have to do something new, or you don’t know what to do let us leverage your skills to identify the right career for you.

How do I use the filter and sort

We present a multitude of different occupational areas for you – that’s what we do. But if you feel a little overwhelmed by all the choices you can personalise your view to show a combination of preferred occupations, previous occupations, occupations based on your skills, occupations based on your styles or occupations based on your interests. You can even change the order in which they are shown.

What does my profile tell me?

Your profile aggregates all the skills you have told us about. It breaks it down into Skills, Styles and Interests.

Skills – These are the occupational skills, knowledge and competencies that you have acquired in previous jobs. You can express your expertise in these skills in the profile section as well.

Styles – The characterise your resilience, learning agility and brainpower which we analysed during your assessment.

Interests – We perform better and enjoy jobs we are interested in, so we analysed your interests during your assessment.

How do I use missions?

To improve our occupational skills we need work experience or training, and our interests don’t really change over time. But we can improve our speed, accuracy, complexity, commitment, control, confidence, adaptability, how we respond to feedback and how we learn ourselves. We don’t need to rely on someone else for that. Missions introduce you to these concepts so you can – if you wish – begin a voyage of self-discovery that will make you more employable as these are the latent skills that all employers look for and you need to succeed in a career.
