Adding Skills to Your Careers Page

Sometimes when browsing career fields and occupations, you may notice that some of the needed skills for that career are actually skills you already have. You can add those skills to your profile from the career field and occupation pages.

Adding Skills from a Career Field Page

The process of adding skills from a career field page is not so different from the process of adding skills from the skill profile. Follow these steps to add skills from a career field page:

1. On an occupation page, go to the skill section.

2. Click on the icon next to the skills you want to add and indicate how often you use the skills.

3. Click Add skills, then choose the experience where you use or learn the skills or create a new experience if you learn it from another experience. 

Next, click Add to profile.

4. Now, the skills have been added to your skill profile.

5. When all the shown skills are irrelevant, click None of the above and SkillMap will present a new list for you. 

Adding Skills from an Occupation Page

In principle, the process of adding skills from an occupation page is similar to the process of adding skills from the skill profile. Follow these steps to add skills from an occupation page:

1. On an occupation page, go to the skill section.

2. Click on the icon next to the skills you want to add and indicate how often you use the skills.

3. Click Add skills, then choose the experience where you use or learn the skills or create a new experience if you learn it from another experience. 

Next, click Add to profile.

4. Now, the skills have been added to your skill profile.

5. You can also view all skills for this occupation to make sure that you have added all skills you actually have. Click View all to see all the skills, then add all skills from this occupation that you already have by following the same process above.
