Testimonials

I definitely liked it (Advance Pack). But then again I really like grouping and categorizing. I personally found that it helped me in the following ways:

  1. Understand specifically where my strengths lie (in language I can use throughout the recruiting process)
  2. See how those individual skills were related (i.e., many analytical)
  3. Understand what I like to do and what I don't like to do (really helpful as look at job descriptions)

Thanks again for all your help - it really has helped me a lot!

SkillScan is a very useful tool to uncover transferable skills.  The report and charts are easy to follow.  There are so many resources in the learning center - you must check them out!

Paula Brand, Owner/Global Career Coach, Brand Career Management

SkillScan is so easy to use while also being an effective tool in providing clarity for our clients, especially those who struggle to articulate their strengths. It is helpful for our diverse range of clients, from those just embarking on their professional lives to mid-career professionals who want to make a change to those debating how to spend their last years in the workforce. Clients can take a deep dive into career exploration or just skim the surface of the report and still get valuable insight into themselves. We even find the reports helpful for writing resumes!

Career Driver Online is an excellent tool that helped me to carefully think about my skills and strengths and career preferences. The cards look very user-friendly. I enjoyed the experience of going through the assessment. The scanning process is a great initial step for serious self-improvement. The report gave me a good guideline for further self- improvement.

I benefited greatly from taking the Self-directed Tutorial for the Career Driver and Express Certification program (CDEC). I learn best when I can pause the recording to take hand-written notes. Your webinars were very helpful and I'm excited to apply all that I learned.

I find your seminars inspirational and right on for being able to use the ideas almost the next day with clients. It is so good to hear from professionals who have developed useful practices based on SkillScan.

Rosemary Barnhart, Career Planning and Employment Consultant

As a loyal customer of SkillScan for over a decade, I find that the new Advance Pack organizes the skill clusters for greater understanding and connection to competency models and job descriptions. I have already incorporated the new Advance Pack into all my corporate workshops and individual coaching settings. Thank you for the improvements on an already outstanding career tool.

Career Driver Online provides a wealth of information and resources which I really think make this almost a "one stop shop" assessment. Including cursory "interest," "values" and "personality" assessments is great for folks eager to get going and have some ideas of directions to pursue. There's a wealth of information for follow-up and discussion, so that anyone about to "launch" and not sure of what to do next has validation and support for taking next steps.

I have successfully used SkillScan assessments with clients of all ages, career stages and in a variety of professions for over 25 years. Clients’ experience a combination of new awareness and practical ways to reposition their skills and experience for a new job or career.

Jan Cummings, MS CCC BCC, Career Development Coach, Ben Hudnall Memorial Trust

SkillScan has been one of my favorite career assessment instruments for 25 years; it is a timeless tool which clients frequently refer to over time as they focus on marketing their transferable skills throughout their careers. As a career management professional, I have used SkillScan successfully in multiple venues, including colleges and universities, outplacement venues, trainings, and my private career counseling practice to assist a variety of clients and business professionals. The newest version brings back the best of the original, and adds new features which bring a clearer focus to the results - key transferable skills which often lead to significant career insights - for users. I have found SkillScan to be extremely effective in assisting individuals and groups in identifying, clarifying, and prioritizing work skills and interests. Participants very much enjoy the combination of initial tactile intuitive choices and prioritization followed by the presentation of a focused Skill Profile and Skill Wheel containing transferable skills in helpful cluster patterns. SkillScan is particularly effective because of its User's Manual rich with practical, useful resources. The newly revised manual on CD very conveniently allows for easy downloading of formatted exercise handouts and materials, in addition to original templates.
