Today I signed up for Path101, a career guidance site currently in alpha. I forget how I heard about it - probably Twitter, because that’s how I get most of my information these days. Anyway, I decided to sign up because I (a) like to play with new toys and (b) am trying to get a career started here, and any advice is welcome.
They offer a ‘personality test’ that gauges your traits and skills and presents you with career options accordingly. I have my doubts about the test, since all questions are vague and answered by a sliding scale or ranking options, but it’s a good start and leads to some degree of introspection if nothing else. There’s also some form of resume analysis, where you upload your resume (didn’t work) or link them to your LinkedIn; I’ve given them the latter but haven’t done anything with it yet. Lastly, I checked out the questions section and answered a few. It appears that more features - additional quizzes and such - are in the works.
The site is a good idea and has the potential to turn into a valuabe resource, especially with so many people now out of work (or about to be) and average-career-switches-per-American on the rise. They don’t specialize in any particular field, which could be a good or a bad thing, I haven’t decided. It’ll either give them a foot in the door in a variety of industries, or cause them to miss out on offering services that could make them indispensable in a particular field. Maybe they could increase traffic via an application on LinkedIn, or maybe they’d be better off doing that instead of a destination site. I suppose it’s too early to tell. I definitely support their mission, though, so I’ll be checking in periodically and playing around some more
