As a freelancer, I wasn’t really sure where I stood in my career. I completed the Career Health Check on CPDASH AI and got my Career Health Score. It showed me my strengths, where I was falling behind, the skills I was missing and what I needed to improve. What I liked most was that it didn’t just identify the gaps, it showed me how to work on them and grow. I finally have a clearer picture of my Career Health and what I need to do next.
