Method and sources

This ranking compares tasks in occupation profiles. It does not predict job losses or describe your actual role.

The assessment

Explore possible uses of software AI, physical tasks and the role of human judgement. The index covers software AI only.

  • Software AI

    10 tasks in this group

    Tools can support summarising offers and preparing comparisons. Selected criteria, missing information and actual commitments still need examination.

  • Physical tasks

    0 tasks in this group
  • Human judgement and relationships

    6 tasks in this group

    Understanding interests, negotiating and tracking commitments connect a comparison with a supplier relationship.

These groups help you explore the occupation's tasks. They do not prove that a tool can perform them: working conditions, equipment and responsibilities also matter.

What will still make a difference

Beyond the index, these practical situations can help you reflect on what you bring to work and the skills you want to develop.

In the work itself

Define the need

Clarify requirements and constraints with the teams that will use the product or service.

Compare proposals

Examine price alongside quality, deadlines and supplier risks.

Build an agreement

Negotiate and then track commitments to check what is actually delivered.

In how you do it

Keep a critical eye

A ranking of offers depends on its criteria. Making them explicit allows discussion of the choice instead of blindly following a result.

Connect the tool to context

In your role, notice when you need to define the need. A useful response depends on available information and what you need to verify.

An assessment alone is not enough to move forward

Jobiwan does not decide for you: your coach helps you connect this analysis with your experience, identify what sets you apart and test it in the real world.

  1. Start with your reality

    Your own situations, compared with the occupation’s assessment.

  2. Identify what sets you apart

    What matters to you, already a strength or something to develop, never a score.

  3. Test it in the real world

    A concrete first step chosen with your coach, followed by feedback a few days later.

A few days later

Your coach checks back to ask what that first step changed, in a conversation at your pace.

Jobiwan does more than give you an assessment of your occupation: it helps you understand what it means for you.

That is the occupation on paper. What about your daily work?
