Career Guide

The Jinn Career Encyclopedia is an online dictionary of information to help users in their career management. This information may be about job descriptions, skills, knowledge, education, salaries, companies, work visa conditions, and many more.

The particularity of this encyclopedia is that it is collaborative: any Jinn user can submit an article for review, or modify an existing article to improve it. Concretely, if a user has expertise in a field not or partially covered by the encyclopedia, he can submit articles in that field. Thus, more users have access to quality content, while we, at Jinn, can leverage that content to provide additional services to help users with their career management.

The Jinn Career Encyclopedia is available to anyone, including non-members of Jinn. However, to benefit from the whole encyclopedia without restriction, and post content, it is necessary to be a member of Jinn. The subscription to Jinn is free.

Our objective is to build a global dictionary of occupational titles, skills, and other career-related information. Therefore, we welcome content from anywhere in the globe, especially content specific to some markets. We believe this will be a great way to compare the particularities of certain jobs, skills, or education requirements from one market to another.

First of all, you must be signed in to Jinn. Only members of Jinn can contribute to the Career Encyclopedia.

Then, when you are on the Jinn Career Encyclopedia main page, or on a category page, you just need to click on the control button “New Article” at the top right. This will open a new page, in which you can give your article a title, a content, add images and URLs, and select a category and tags.

To edit an article, you need to open the article you want to modify, and click on the “Edit Article” button at the top right of the article. This will open a page in which you can change the content of the article.

We want to make sure that the content we publish is as accurate as possible. Which is why our first articles are based on databases provided by world-renowned institutions, such as the European Commission, or the International Labour Organization.

As for user-generated content, we strongly encourage people to post content in areas where they have expertise through their education or professional experience. To ensure the quality of the articles, we review every article submitted before publication. If we are convinced of your expertise, especially through the approval of several submitted articles, we may give you more rights to publish directly (without going through approval), or to review content published by other users in your field of expertise.

Please feel free to create a new article, and submit it.

After review, we will determine if the content is already covered or not, the relevant category (we can also create a new category), and of course if it brings value in career development. Your article will be published if it meets these criteria.

We develop algorithms to help people choosing their best career paths, or the skills they should learn to meet their career goals. These algorithms provide personalized career advice, based on the data in the Jinn Career Encyclopedia. To find out more about this tool, click here.

The Jinn Career Encyclopedia is free to use. Our objective is to make career development easy for everyone, regardless of their age, location, professional or personal background.
