YOU ARE

The Artisan

The Artisan

When it comes to building things and making things work, you've got the magic touch. You’ll love a career that’s active, outdoors, and hands-on. Read on to discover what kinds of jobs and opportunities suit you.

Discover Courses For Me
The Artisan
icon-hands-on-purple

Practical

Figuring out how things work and what needs to be done come easily to you.

icon-analytical-purple

Logical

You like to think things through in a rational, step-by-step manner.

icon-leadership-purple

Active

Sitting still isn’t for you — you prefer to be moving about.

Congratulations! You are the Artisan. Practical, straightforward, and active, you bring a hands-on approach to everything that you do. In your spare time, we’ll probably find you working on DIY projects around the house and garden, getting outdoors mountain biking or running, or tinkering with your car.

Because of your independent nature and interest in how things work, you’re drawn toward jobs that involve hands-on problem-solving. If you’re looking for some career inspiration, some good places to start are in the construction, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, utilities and logistics sectors.

You have to fall in love with your work… you must dedicate your life to mastering your skill. That’s the secret of success.”

— Chef Jiro (from Jiro Dreams of Sushi)

Interaction skills

Training others
Communicating
Teamwork

icon-time-management-purple

Organisational skills

Planning
Time management
Digital literacy


Technical skills

While technical skills depend largely on the industry or occupation you’re in, most of the technical skills in demand are manual skills, like:

 

Forklift operation

An ideal skill to get you an entry-level job in a warehouse, forklift operation is in-demand across all kinds of employers. You never know when you’ll need to drive one on the job.

 

Using tools

If you’re planning to enter a trade, tools will be your bread and butter. Focus on mastering each one until they’re second nature.

 

Carpentry

Clearly, this is a useful skill to have as a carpenter, but it will come in handy in many different trades, like building more generally, or if you need to use wood structures for landscaping.
