Testimonials

As a holistic Executive/Life Coach, SkillScan has allowed me to offer next-level holistic service for my clients in career transition or clients who simply want to boost their confidence and highlight their skills in their current role. SkillScan is both extremely straightforward and in-depth and I highly recommend it!

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.

I administered Skill Scan to my class of sophomore plastics engineering students today. The students loved it! One said he didn't realize he had so many skills. Another said he now had words to use to describe his experience when introducing himself to someone professionally. Even those who had a lot of skills yet to develop were excited to record them all in one place. It was a great confidence booster! 

I discovered SkillScan a few years ago and have incorporated it into my career coaching practice. My coaching services are for career transitions at mid-life and beyond. The report SkillScan generates is robust, and the website contains a wealth of resources for coaches and a ton of exercises I can share with my clients. Lesah responds quickly to questions—even on the weekends! She’s a pleasure to work with.

As a career coach in private practice, SkillScan has been an invaluable addition to my toolbox, as I work with clients of various ages, stages, and industries. It helps my clients not only visualize their top skills, but with the Career Guide, see how those skills are transferable to different jobs in different industries. The click-throughs to O*NET make it easy for them to start their exploration!

I frequently use DRIVE with both my entry level clients and career changers. It's always a confidence booster for clients not only see their transferable skills, but also the potential application of skills. The new supplemental exercises are also very helpful in terms of providing a comprehensive understanding of career preferences.

Millennials are hungry for relevant resources that will help them grow as professionals. As a career coach, I have used SkillScan Drive with hundreds of young professionals. I have found that it helps my clients to better understand their skill sets and discover more options as they explore their career paths. It is an excellent assessment that I have consistently received positive comments about — and I will keep using in the future.

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.

After I was laid off from my job in July, SkillScan was a really great tool that helped me reassess my strengths and skills. What was unique about it was it not only confirmed the skills I thought I excelled in, but presented additional results that I wouldn’t have even considered if I hadn’t taken the assessment. Easily digestible, clear, concise, and informative, SkillScan was absolutely worth it! 

The Online assessment was user-friendly, nicely laid out and an innovative way to think about our skills.
