To steer the career itself - with a solid reflection
Some of you may have met her at the "Founders Speed Talk" at the ChroniquesDuVasteMonde Academy Job Symposium: Irina Clemens with her motto "Courage Pays Off". Together with the British Zeff Sheriff she builds the startup in Berlin Talentif on. It does not matter if it's an internal job change, a continuing education choice, a sabbatical or a complete new beginning. At the core, you reflect with Talentif, where your own core competencies are and where they can be put to good use on the job market.
There are 15 assignments that are self-paced or partnered with a friend and are mentored through videos by a career coach. At its core, the platform provides a wonderful accompaniment to competence assessment. She herself is free, if necessary, a single coaching or a place in the 6-week course can be booked at any time. In the course you will meet 6-8 other professionals, with whom you can exchange weekly about the tasks by videoconference. Talentif wants to stimulate the exchange of experience and better access to the working methods of different professions.
Talentif has been officially available for free since Monday, October 9th. Access to the platform is via registration with Facebook, LinkedIn or email. All information is available at www.talentif.de.
The platform is aimed particularly at German-speaking employees who determine their career position or specifically consider a career change. For the readers of the ChroniquesDuVasteMonde Academy newsletter, Talentif has raised 6 questions. He helps to assess whether the question of career change is appropriate right now:
"Is this the right time to reflect on your career point?"
1. Are your three strengths used several times a week?
- Yes (1 point)
- No (0 points)
2. Do you feel sufficiently supported by your supervisor?
- Absolutely (1 point)
- Unfortunately no (0 points)
3. Is your work important for the success of your team / company?
- Definitely (1 point)
- ... good question (0 points)
4. Is your work regularly recognized by your supervisor / colleague?
- Yes (1 point)
- No (0 points)
5. Are your activities easily automatable? This is usually the case when repetitive tasks are involved.
- No, they are almost impossible to automate (1 point)
- Yes, many of my activities are repetitive and easy to automate (0 points)
6. Are further trainings promoted in your company?
- Yes (1 point)

Now count the points together.
Where is your job on the talentif scale?
0-4 points: A reflection of your career position is advisable. You can find advice with career coaches, suggestions in the Talentif blog. From the 9th of October the Talentif platform will be at www.talentif.de. Important: Take enough time to reflect: 3-4 days of vacation or 1-2 Saturdays that belong to your career and you.
5-6 points: Congratulations, your job still seems to be the right one. Look around your private environment and support others in their career decisions with your knowledge.
