How Career Mine works
From uncertainty to a plan you can act on.
Four stages, in the order most people need them. You can start anywhere, but the sequence exists because each stage makes the next one cheaper.
Start where you are
What's getting in your way?
Pick the one that sounds most like your situation, and we'll suggest where to begin.
Suggested next step
Explore interests and transferable skills.
Start from what you are drawn to rather than from job titles. Mapping interests against the skills you already have usually narrows the field faster than browsing roles.
Open the discovery wizardA suggestion to explore, not a diagnosis of what you should do.
Being clear about it
What Career Mine does, and doesn't
Career guidance attracts overclaiming. Here is the boundary, stated plainly.
- What it doesWhat it does not
- Describes career paths in terms of the actual work, skills and entry pointsPublishes salary figures, growth rates or hiring-demand claims
- Matches your selected skills against the skills listed on each career pageRuns an assessment model or measures your aptitude
- Sequences conceptual learning pathways around a career destinationDelivers courses, certification or accreditation
- Explains how to prepare a resume, portfolio and interview storiesReviews your materials, introduces you to employers or places you in work
Why Career Mine
Five principles behind the design
- 01
Explore before committing
Reading what a path asks for day to day costs an afternoon. Finding out after two years costs considerably more.
- 02
Build on what you already know
Most career changes are adjacent moves. Your existing experience is usually the strongest asset you bring, once you can name it.
- 03
Learn with purpose
A destination makes the curriculum obvious. Without one, learning becomes collecting, and collecting does not compound.
- 04
Make progress visible
Written evidence of what you have done is what other people can act on. Keeping it current is half the work of a search.
- 05
Adapt as your goals evolve
A plan you cannot revise is a trap. Treat direction as a working hypothesis and update it when the evidence changes.
