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

    5 tasks in this group

    Preparing an estimate or report involves information. Site constraints and on-site checks need to inform those documents.

  • Physical tasks

    22 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

    Understanding the reported problem and adapting to the installation give meaning to the chosen work.

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

Read the situation

Examine the installation and access constraints before preparing the work.

Adapt components

Prepare and assemble parts for the actual dimensions and environment.

Check the result

Check operation, explain the work and leave the work area clean.

In how you do it

Keep a critical eye

Two similar requests can hide very different installations. Observing before concluding avoids imposing a standard solution.

Connect the tool to context

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

    Adapter et optimiser sa pratique au contexte et aux risques professionnels (gestes, postures, ergonomie)

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?
