Career roadmap

How to build a career roadmap from the role you actually want.

Pick the role you want and SkillDrift reads your current resume against it, names every skill standing between the two, and orders them by which one moves your readiness most. The path itself is free. Building the full roadmap, with the learning attached to each gap, is 50 credits. What is closed loop career development?

How it runs

How do you build a career roadmap for yourself?

A list of everything you are missing is not a plan. The order is the product.

  1. 01

    Name the target

    The role you want, at the level you want it. Your first job, a move, or the level above you.

  2. 02

    See the gap, scored

    Skill by skill, out of 100, against that role, not against strangers.

  3. 03

    Get the order

    The skills that move your score most come first, so early effort shows up early.

  4. 04

    Watch it re-score

    Close one and the score updates free. The roadmap re-orders around what is left.

Three starting points

What order should you close your skill gaps in?

The roadmap adapts to where you actually are: the sample data, the matched roles and the target level all shift with it.

Land my first job

You have no track record yet. Let us build one.

See which projects and coursework actually count as skills, scored against an entry-level role, and get internships ranked out of 100.

Move to a new job

You have the experience. Make sure it gets read.

See which skills transfer into a new field, and get a roadmap for the ones that do not.

Get promoted

Know exactly what the next level needs.

Benchmark against the level above you, and practise the panel before you sit it.
