How to Use PokeBot's Career Planning Module

The Career Planning module is the foundation of your career growth journey with PokeBot. This guide will walk you through each feature and show you how to get the most out of it.

Getting Started with Career Planning

When you first access the Career Planning module, you'll be guided through a comprehensive intake process that helps our AI understand your background, goals, and aspirations.

Step 1: Complete Your Career Profile

Start by providing information about:

  • Key skills and competencies
  • Career aspirations and timeline

This information helps PokeBot personalize your entire experience.

  • Relevant: Aligned with your values and interests
  • Time-bound: Set a target date

Step 3: Skill Gap Analysis

Once your goals are set, PokeBot analyzes the gap between where you are and where you want to be. You'll receive:

  • A list of skills you need to develop
  • Resources for skill development
  • Priority ranking based on impact
  • Estimated time to acquire each skill

Step 4: Review Your Growth Plan

Your personalized growth plan includes:

  • Weekly and monthly milestones
  • Recommended learning resources
  • Practice exercises and assessments
  • Progress checkpoints

Tips for Success

  1. Be honest in your self-assessment
