| What is the IP address for skillsbook |
| 203.124.179.51 |
| I'm having trouble reading loaded files |
|
The file reader accepts the following file formats
zip|rar|pdf|txt|doc|xls|ppt
If you upload a file that is not one of these formats it is a good idea to add the extension to the file name so it is recognised. So for example if you ahve a word processing document called 'personal', when you upload it, call it 'personal.doc'
Comments: I also have a couple of files in my folder and both open without problem
I'll have a look at your profile and try to see what's going on

| How do I use Skillsbook to profile the competency requirements of a job?
|
|
First of all you need to be registered. This will give you access to the Competency Navigator (skills profiling tool).
When registered, under 'Skillsbook' go to 'my account' and click the Competency Navigator tab.
Then click the 'Start Competency Navigator' button.
From here the idea is to fill up a shopping basket of skills that the job requires.
There are three options or ways of doing this. You can use any combination of the three.
- Qualifications: If you know that most of the competencies required for a job are listed in a specific qualification you can go directly to it and then add or delete from the list.
- Occupations: A general ist of all occupations that are covered by vocational qualifications is provided so you can add or delete from the given list.
- Skills sets: If you are unsure of either of the above and know the field of work that the job entails, then you can search this list and then add items to the skills basket.
Once you've explored one of the above and added appropriate units, click save, then you can view your skills basket by clicking the shopping trolley icon. If this list is incomplete repeat the process using a different search route, if this 'basket' is too full then simply check the box against items you wish to delete.
When you're finished, click finish. The competency profile of the job will be shown in your basket (Units in my basket) as will the best match qualifications and best match occupations.

| What happens if I publish my Skillsbook to an employer?
|
|
When you publish your Skillsbook to be viewable by an employer several things can happen:
- If your Competency Navigator skills profile matches what the employer is looking for, the employer will be notified that there is a match.
- The employer can then message you with questions or to arrange an interview. You may, for example, wish to show an employer your e portfolio.

|
| How does private messaging work?
|
|
Private messaging service (PMS) works in the same way as email.
It is called 'private' because you can only send messages to other Skillsbook registered users.
You simply need to know the other users 'username' and you can send them a PMS.
|
