When did you realize you were a grownup? Maybe it was your first credit card, or improving your health, perhaps when you got your first job? It was probably all of them. There are plenty of tools for managing your money and your health, but your career? Not so much.
In the working world, things are stacked against you. Companies buy products to manage you, chasing promises of improved performance and reduced turnover. But your goals are different, and in your dreams your current job is one step in a journey. That’s why we made Career Minder, to help balance the scales.
Have you struggled to show how great you are in a job interview or annual review, or let constant demands at work distract and slow your forward momentum? Do you feel like a passenger in your career rather than a driver? We have. Rather than letting the flow of the daily grind carry you downriver, we believe in getting a map and compass and charting a course.
Career Minder is a work journal, goal tracker, and your overall career hub. It’s an organized place to record your accomplishments as they happen. When the unexpected occurs, whether layoffs, teams shift, or your dream job becomes available, you will be ready with your experience at hand, tailored to the moment. Career Minder helps you get the job, keep it, and then plan your next move.
We’re a small team that has set out to make a product for your career that is as essential as budgeting software is to money or step tracking is to fitness. We can’t do your job for you, but we can help you remember the long-term while you concentrate on doing your best work today. It’s time to be a career grown up, and Career Minder is the tool for blazing your trail.
