A Degree Is a Signal. Skills Are the Proof.
Many students do the right things and still feel stuck. The issue is usually translation. Employers want evidence that you can do the work, not just that you studied it.
The Traditional Path
- ×Study hard and hope employers notice your GPA
- ×Graduate with theory knowledge but limited practical portfolio
- ×Apply broadly without targeting roles that fit your skills
- ×Struggle to explain how coursework translates to job requirements
- ×Accept the first offer without understanding market rates

Student Stories and Illustrative Examples
Here are examples of how students use CareerPhases to pick roles, build proof, and interview with more confidence. Outcomes vary.
"My CS degree gave me theory, but I couldn't pass technical interviews. CareerPhases helped me see I was missing React, Git workflows, and system design. After filling those gaps, I felt way more confident in interviews."
"As a Psychology major, I had no idea how to translate my skills. CareerPhases suggested UX Research and showed me what courses to take. Building case studies gave me something real to talk about in interviews."
"I had a business degree and felt stuck with generic job postings. CareerPhases helped me target Data Analyst roles specifically and learn SQL and Tableau. Having a clear plan made the whole process less overwhelming."
