Why do an online skills assessment with this Klaxoon template?
To make sure you get it right!
Before radically changing direction, putting your future at stake or rushing into a new training course, a realistic assessment is vital. And it’s even better with someone to help you! You might feel fed up, weary at work, or simply feel out of place, but this can be due to both professional and personal factors. That’s why taking one step at a time is very important. With this online skills assessment, your ideas and what you want in your career become clear, so you can approach your professional future with peace of mind.
Klaxoon’s scalable visual whiteboard brings big benefits to you and the person helping you. You can do this work remotely if you are working from home, in person, or even asynchronously.
Start by filling in your own space, before a catch up for example. In the same way, your partner can keep on sharing comments and content with you at any time, so you can move forward before the next catch up. Either way, you won’t lose any information.
What's more, the 4 steps of the skills assessment mean you can share all your ideas in a fun and visual way. The wide range of formats available will stimulate your creativity, and you’ll come up with ideas and desires that you would have never imagined. You really take a leading role in planning your future. Besides, the consultant, manager or HR officer can find the content from all the phases in one place at any time. They can follow your train of thought, and see all the shared resources at a glance.
How to complete your online skills assessment
Go to your whiteboard and invite your partner if you have one.
If you’re doing your skills assessment by yourself, just follow the steps at your own pace. Complete each area, one after the other, and feel free to use other Klaxoon activities to get a better understanding of your personality!
If you are an HR officer or manager, personalize the process by adding the resources the participant needs to get them thinking. For example, in step 2, use the participant’s job description to add skills to the spider diagrams. Set regular short catch-ups to see how things are progressing.
If you are a skills assessment consultant, use the whiteboard like a tracking and sharing tool. Centralize all the tools you use during the assessment: for example, add a link to a personalized questionnaire, a career test etc.
Either way, you can modify the space however you want and add boxes, text and colors as need be using the toolbar. Use the Question tool to ask your partner or even external people for information, opinions or meetings. To help you, there are four pre-set colors to post your ideas:
- Yellow for comments
- Green for questions
- Purple for feedback
- Orange for resources
So, when you switch to Column view, you instantly see where you are in your assessment. Go on, give it a go!
