Skill Profiles

What is a skill profile?

A skill profile is a reviewable project or experience defense card. It records the project context, your actual contribution, key decisions, likely follow-ups, facts that can be stated, and boundaries that require caution.

A skill profile is not a skill tag or a question bank.

How do I create a reliable skill profile?

1. Provide evidence in the preparation chat

   Upload or paste a project description, resume section, research note, portfolio material, or your own retrospective, and name the project you want to prepare.

2. Answer factual gaps

   AskCc may ask about ownership, decision reasons, metric definitions, contribution, and outcomes. If you do not remember an exact number, mark it as unknown instead of estimating it as fact.

3. Review the draft

   Check the project context, your contribution, follow-up anchors, and factual boundaries. Remove work you did not own, unverified numbers, and overclaims.

4. Add facts or confirm use

   Continue supplying evidence when needed. A skill profile is suitable for the live interview only after your review and confirmation.

5. Preview it before starting

   In the right-side preparation panel, confirm that the selected skill profiles match the current role.

Can a project file be imported directly as a skill profile?

No. Uploaded or pasted Markdown, PDF, and other project files are evidence sources. They still require organization, clarification, and your review. The current user flow does not provide a legacy Markdown-skill import that bypasses review.

How detailed should a skill profile be?

It should answer at least:

• What problem did the project solve, and what was your role?
• Which key actions did you personally complete?
• Why did you make those decisions, and what were the trade-offs?
• What was the result, and where did each metric come from?
• What will an interviewer likely ask next?
• Which facts are confirmed, and which numbers or attribution remain uncertain?

How do I avoid fabricated experience?

• Use only material you are allowed to use and can explain.
• Confirm contribution ratios, metrics, scale, and outcomes individually.
• Separate “the team did” from “I did.”
• Keep unknowns as boundaries or open questions.
• Correct the skill profile before starting a new session if you find an error.

Caution

Skill profiles help you express real experience accurately. Do not use them to invent projects, responsibilities, education, qualifications, or results.
