Skillscan Testimonials:


As a long time SkillScan customer, I gained some new insights from Lesah Beckhusen’s excellent webinar, “SkillScan’s Career Driver Online Assessment Training Program”. For example, after clients identify their top skill sets, it is very helpful to have them think of several specific examples in which they have used each of their top-rated skills. This is empowering to the clients and helpful as they tailor each resume to the job they are seeking. In the past, I would sometimes take the occasion right after we identified preferred skills to ask my clients how well their current or last job fit their preferred skills, I now plan to ask every time since the responses will provide insight about key “must haves” and “want to haves”. – Barbara Herzog, Herzog Career Consulting, Sept. 2011 Participant

I found the entire program to be excellent. The breakdown of the job seekers was a helpful way to think about the clients and their needs. I also find the the tool very comprehensive and am anxious to use it. Your webinars will make that much easier – June 2011 Skillscan Webinar Participant

The case study was very helpful – it was valuable to see how Lesah integrated the client’s assessment information; I will definitely use the side by side comparison format with clients now- Spring 2011 Webinar Participant

[Most useful was...] Identifying the four types of clients who would benefit from the assessment and why; also helped to identify generalists and specialists. – Spring 2011 Webinar Participant

The recent webinar training (May 2011) provided by Lesah for virtual career coaches was well organized, highly informative and allowed time for Q&A. Her slides were excellent and offered as part of the webinar for later review. In addition, Lesah provides ideas for discussing results with clients along with a case study. Her years as a career counselor make her sensitive to how well the assessment works for both the counselor and the client. – Sue Aiken, TSA Career Coach and Private Practice

I liked how looking at the basics of skill set sorting gives the foundation one needs to build up possibilities, options & opportunities for career decision-making, education & training employment and self-employment! Thank you!- Maine Full-Day Conference participants – fall 2010

Facilitator is very knowledgeable and shared great information that will be used in an effective way to help the client and the counselor- Maine Full-Day Conference participants – fall 2010

Lesah brings the tool alive and goes way beyond the manual!- Boston workshop participant – 2009 & 2010

I particularly like the hands-on experience, the discussion of “non-standard client scenarios” and integrating assessment results.- Boston workshop participant – 2009 & 2010
