Testimonials

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 use SkillScan Online to help my career transition clients, from age 20 to 60, identify the skills that are high in proficiency and enjoyment, and will help them live happier lives. My clients are also exposed to new possibilities when they apply their strongest skill sets to the practical career opportunities found in the SkillScan Drive assessment “Career Guides” section.

I just used Drive for the first time with our clients and I loved it.  The report layout is crisp, clean and easy to follow!  I sent a use to my colleague, and she loved the look and feel of it as well!  I think my favorite change is the career choices that go with each skill set! Thank you!

I really liked using Skillscan’s Career Driver Online. I liked how the system grouped skills and made career and class suggestions based on those skills. I took my students to the computer lab to take the assessment and it was helpful to work in a group because one student’s question helped other students.  My students found it easy to use. During my student’s final presentation on their career action plan, they all talked about the Career Driver’s recommendations for their skills and how it would fit into to the job they wanted.

• Saw a lot of valuable information about myself. The cards worked really well.
• Excellent tool to help discover myself.
• Loved the "tarot" (Advance Pack) cards.

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!

Skillscan helps clients identify what they are good at, the skills they enjoy using, and the transferable skills they bring to the world of work. The robust reports boost confidence, provide greater awareness of marketable skills, and are helpful when applying for jobs and preparing for interviews. I use SkillScan with every coaching client and the results are a springboard for our career exploration and coaching work together.

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 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.

Love using the new Drive assessment with my clients. The report content flows well. The formatting of the Personal Skill Chart is very detailed and easy to interpret. I particularly find the Strategic Skill Profile that showcases the client's dominant skills a useful tool to use in personal branding.
