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

    2 tasks in this group

    Orders, planning and production documents form the informational side of the work. A proposal needs checking before practical use.

  • Physical tasks

    11 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

    7 tasks in this group

    Attention to products, expectations and teamwork complements production instructions.

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

Adjust a preparation

Observe texture and account for ingredients before continuing production.

Manage production

Organise preparations, baking and orders within the available time.

Refine the finish

Create consistent decoration while preserving product quality.

In how you do it

Keep a critical eye

A plausible recipe does not prove that a texture will hold or a production plan will work. Trials and checks remain decisive.

Connect the tool to context

In your role, notice when you need to adjust a preparation. 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?
