A career is an important choice. You will spend a lot of time at work, so you hope you will enjoy it. Instead of leaving such a vital issue to chance, there is now a more scientific way to approach choosing a career. The startup Sokanu wants to help people answer the question, ?What do you want to be when you grow up?? through ?intelligent career discovery.?
This free website just launched in late October in Vancouver, British Columbia, and is now in public beta. As a high school senior, Spencer Thompson, Sokanu CEO, saw classmates embarking on careers unsuited to their personality and wanted to change that.
Thompson informed RESCUECOM, ?Sokanu?s mission is to help every single person find the career they are meant to be in ? and help them get there.?
Sokanu is pronounced ?So can you!? with positive emphasis.
Sokanu uses science, in the form of what Sokanu calls a career-matching algorithm, to match people with careers. The company calls this its ?career genome project.?
?We are the only platform in the world that approaches your career from a human development perspective,? Thompson said, ?customizing the site to who you are as a person.?
Sokanu asks probing questions to find out what makes a candidate tick and what career would satisfy each person, taking into account character, interests and abilities. For example, where do you fall on the spectrum between a hands-on person and a dreamer? Past experiences also factor in. The more information you give, the closer the match is to a potentially fulfilling career. Sokanu makes matches from its detailed career database.
As Sokanu can help fix your career plans, a skilled computer company, such as RESCUECOM, is a good choice for computer repair.
In a survey Sokanu commissioned with 2,000 people interviewed, Harris Interactive found that 90 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds do not trust the information they find about careers. In addition, 63 percent of respondents rely on career information from their friends and relatives (who may not be experts) and 46 percent have changed career plans because of bleak job prospects in the current economy. Also, 47 percent know what career they would like, but do not know how to achieve it and 67 percent of adults do not use websites to find job information. These statistics lead to the conclusion that people need solid career and educational information.
Career support is welcome for those who do not know what path to pursue, and computer users welcome tech support when they encounter a computer problem.
The website?s blog features stories of people who want to change their lives and how they are going about it, and others looking back and seeing how they could have done things differently, knowing what they know now.
There is also a Facebook app, to share with your friends. This can help others see what traits they possess and how these traits could relate to their ideal job.
