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

    14 tasks in this group

    Tools can support drafting letters, organising information and updating records. Recipients and data still need checking.

  • Physical tasks

    1 task 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

    3 tasks in this group

    Knowing people and organisational priorities helps the right information reach them at the right time.

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

Prioritise requests

Rework a schedule when an urgent matter conflicts with several commitments.

Keep records reliable

Spot a missing document or inconsistent information before passing a file on.

Guide a visitor

Understand the request behind a call and find the right contact.

In how you do it

Keep a critical eye

Knowing what can wait and what needs an immediate response depends on understanding people and the organisation.

Connect the tool to context

In your role, notice when you need to prioritise requests. 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?
