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

    7 tasks in this group

    Product references, prices and transaction records concern data. Automatic processing does not guarantee that an anomaly is understood.

  • Physical tasks

    2 tasks in this group

    Tasks performed in a real place involve physical constraints. This task group does not prove that a robot can carry them out.

  • Human judgement and relationships

    15 tasks in this group

    Welcoming customers and helping with difficulties make room for conversation even when transactions use technology.

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

Check the transaction

Investigate a price or payment anomaly before continuing the transaction.

Help the customer

Explain the process or resolve a checkout difficulty.

Maintain the flow

Organise the station and report incidents that slow customers down.

In how you do it

Keep a critical eye

When a transaction falls outside the usual case, understanding the issue and applying the right procedure must fit within the conversation.

Connect the tool to context

In your role, notice when you need to check the transaction. 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?
