Testimonials

I have used the SkillScan cards and profile for years and moved to the online version as soon as it was released for ease of use and detail of results. Most recently, I switched to the new version "Drive".  I think it's great - easy to comprehend, very professionally presented and the occupations are much more interesting than the Strong or the Holland Occupations. Having them broken down into industry is so helpful showing a client how many industries their skills can transfer. I use it both for internal and external career coaching and training.This is an assessment that is consistently updated to reflect new titles and current occupational trends. As a practitioner, I value this highly!

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 have used SkillScan since I was a graduate student. SkillScan helps clients to see aspects of themselves in ways other assessments are unable to reveal. It also supports and confirms psychometrically measured instruments like the Strong and MBTI. You can successfully use it with a variety of ages and backgrounds.  I love SkillScan and highly recommend it

I have been using SkillScan for the past 8 years, both the physical version and the online version. It is my go-to resource for clients who could benefit from understanding how their skills fit into their career design. I am continually amazed by how many ‘a-ha’ moments arise in the conversations that follow!

Scientists often approach skill or career assessments with a healthy dose of inquiry. With SkillScan, they quickly find it to be a valuable tool for uncovering how their technical and professional skills intersect. SkillScan's focus on both proficiency and enjoyment helps them gain a more holistic understanding of their professional identities and transferable strengths, enabling them to make informed and purposeful career decisions.

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! 

SkillScan is the best tool on the market to take a close look at the skills you have to offer an employer, your community service, or the skills you take into self-employment. I love that it can be used with other self-assessments to strengthen and enhance your self-knowledge

I love how the Career Driver results compliment the Myers Briggs Type Indicator and Strong Interest Inventory results with my clients who are exploring career options. Career Driver assessment results have provided my clients with a vocabulary to use in resumes and interviewing, uncovering skills they would not have described if they had not taken this assessment.

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 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.
