But why compare yourself with others? Accurate comparison of yourself with others is a form of benchmarking. Benchmarking is about improving yourself by identifying what you do well, and what you need to improve or gain to keep yourself ahead of the curve. Here are just a few of the reasons:
I'd like a pay rise!
Using Zapoint, you can easily benchmark yourself against others in your industry just by searching and viewing the Talent Profiles from the search results. Imagine how much better it would be at your annual pay review if you could prove that you are at the top of you game, more skilled and experienced than employees at your company's rivals.
Going for a promotion?
Getting a promotion means that you'll be doing a slightly different job, maybe with more management, possibly at a more advanced skill level, or maybe a bit of both. The problem is how do you know what new skills you'll need, and what skills you'll need to improve?
Zapoint makes it easy to do just this. Search for other Zapoint members in the industry and at the level you aspire to and look through their Talent Profiles. You'll quickly see the skills and experience level required and you can instantly spot any skill gaps you have and what level of experience you might need.
I want to do something different!
You want to change what you do. Perhaps its a total career change, or maybe a side-step into a different area of your current profession. The first step is to work out what skills and experience you already have that will cross-over, and what you might need to gain.
By comparing yourself to others in the position, you can get an accurate understanding of your needs. This can help you find the right courses to attend, point you in the direction of what work placements you might look to get, or even reassure you that you have all that you need and you can go right ahead and start applying!
