Why it matters

Why assess your Civil Engineer skills?

A score is only useful if it tells you what to do next.

Gaps by name

Each missing skill is named and marked core, important or optional for Civil Engineer, so you know what the role expects that your resume does not show.

Skills you never wrote down

The score reads what your resume says. A skill you have but never mention counts as missing, to a recruiter as much as to us.

What to learn first

Core skills carry half the score, so closing one core gap moves it further than closing an optional one.
