This is so cool, just tested it and it looks really promising!
And tbh, I can’t believe it. At the beginning of this year, I also started working on some ideas around helping people find and land their next career move. We started with the exploratory phase and discovering what’s next. We licensed a proper personality test (the famous Holland test) and then used an algorithm to match users with potential careers based on their personalities.
However, after testing it with over 200 people, it seemed like the career matching algorithm didn’t really work properly, as it didn’t always nail what people had in mind for their next move.
So the obvious next step would’ve been to just add a layer, kind of like what you’ve built, analyzing the user’s past career, skills, and recommending paths more aligned with their real trajectory, not just their personality.
We also built this: https://list.careermanager.ai/ with Cursor, but it’s far from finished, where we added over 1,000 occupations, trying to help people filter through options more easily.
In the meantime, we dropped the project. Maybe we could have a chat and exchange learnings!
Would be happy to contribute to some of the things you’re building around “what’s next”, and I can also share what we used for the jobs database.
