Testimonials
- 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 use SkillScan with about 90% of my Quarter-life clients and can’t imagine career counseling without it. It’s my MOST valuable tool for this age group – 23-42.
I have been using SkillScan for several years now, beginning with the paper version and transitioning to Drive online. I present to clients that I can meet with them several times and gather the information needed, but using the SkillScan assessment will provide us with a wealth of information in a far shorter time and present it in a way that is readily actionable to identify next steps, such as career direction and resume writing with specific content. It is comprehensive and the flow works!
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
As a therapist and career coach, I have found SkillScan to be a very valuable tool in pinpointing the work skills that my clients are highly motivated to use. It also sheds light on potential reasons for client burn-out.
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:
- Understand specifically where my strengths lie (in language I can use throughout the recruiting process)
- See how those individual skills were related (i.e., many analytical)
- 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!
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.
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!
SkillScan is the main tool I use to support career changers in our coaching work! My clients appreciate the comprehensive and user-friendly reports. I love how multifaceted the report is for clarifying job targets for career changers.
I have used the original SkillScan Professional Pack for many years with many clients, and although I have always felt that the SkillScan was a valuable tool for my clients, I now see even more positive results with the SkillScan Advance Pack. Clients find the tool and the supplementary materials incredibly valuable in clarifying direction and identifying skills that they can use with employers to articulate their marketability. There is also an increase in confidence and preparedness. When working with clients, the SkillScan Advance Pack is my tool of choice.
