Skill Gap Map

See what carries over. Find what to build next.

Thinking about a career move? Skill Gap Map starts with what your own experience actually demonstrates, then shows possible connections and gaps worth checking against the roles or job postings you're considering.

Overview

Skill Gap Map starts from evidence you supplied about your own work rather than guessing at your proficiency. In I Know My Target mode, it identifies experience that may transfer, separates that from candidate requirements that still need verification, and gives you one place to start plus one concrete next move. In Help Me Explore, it suggests plausible directions to investigate without pretending it has proven what suits you. Generic role knowledge can open a door — 'this may matter' or 'worth checking' — but it does not become a claim that a role requires, commonly uses, or typically values something unless the tool has actual role-specific evidence such as a job posting.

How to use it

  1. 🔍 Help Me Explore: Enter your current role, experience, and interests to get plausible directions worth investigating rather than one confident career verdict
  2. 🗺️ I Know My Target: Enter your current role, target role, and the experience you want considered
  3. Review what your supplied experience clearly demonstrates and which connections to the target are reasonable possibilities rather than established requirements
  4. Start with the one gap or unknown that would be most useful to verify next
  5. Use an actual job posting when available — specific posting language can replace generic role hypotheses with concrete requirements
  6. Open deeper sections only when useful for learning sequence, proof to build, economics, company targeting, interview preparation, or resume work

Example

Scenario: You're a marketing coordinator considering product-management roles. You have project coordination, analytics, and stakeholder-communication experience but no specific job posting yet.

What you do: Enter your current role, the target role, and concrete examples of what you already do.

Result: Skill Gap Map identifies the supplied experience that could transfer, suggests areas worth comparing with actual product-management postings, and picks one high-information next step — for example, finding two target postings and checking which requirements repeatedly appear. It does not label a capability 'core,' 'required,' or 'commonly expected' unless role-specific evidence establishes that.
