FAQ

We have an answer to (almost) everything. 


  • Is the app for free?

    Yes, the application is for free for the users and is designed to help with orientation in the labour market.

  • Do I have to provide my personal data?

    No, the app is designed in such a way that no personal data is linked to the result, thanks to integrated artificial intelligence.

  • If the BMAS supports it, does they see everything?

    No, the results are only for you. Since you do not enter any personal data, data protection is always guaranteed. The BMAS is rather supporting the project to help everyone find a good start or an optimal career path.

  • Why are there no job offers?

    At this stage, the app only provides an overview of your career opportunities. However, a connection to job exchanges is planned in the next step.

  • I have several results, which one is the best?

    The closer the result is to the centre of the radar, the more it matches your input. The decision is yours. To get even more precise results, you may need to provide further information.

  • I am interested in a profession. What now?

    The links below will help you learn more about the current opportunities in the labour market or the exact requirements. Now you can either search specifically for these jobs or look for a relevant apprenticeship or further training. Your employment office will also be able to help you more easily with this specific information.

  • If I write ‘I have back pain’, I'll never get a helpful result...

    That is precisely the kind of limitation that artificial intelligence solves. It takes such input into account and displays suitable occupations for you based on your knowledge, abilities, desires and/or state of health. For example, if you are a trained tiler and suffer from back problems due to an accident, further training to become a bathroom renovation expert might be a sensible alternative for you.

If you are wondering what the app can do...

How can a simple, albeit AI-driven app, impact the world of work? What can you expect from this application? If you are wondering, then we have put together a few statistical examples for you here.
