Question 1

How many skills are in the JobCannon database?

Accepted Answer

1,533 skills mapped across design, development, marketing, writing, operations, and data — each linked to the careers that demand it and the assessments that surface it.

Question 2

How are skills linked to careers?

Accepted Answer

Every skill is connected to relevant career paths through tens of thousands of mapped edges built from job-posting data and occupational taxonomies. Open any skill page to see which roles use it most.

Question 3

Which skills should I learn for remote work?

Accepted Answer

Skills with high remote demand include async communication, written documentation, async-friendly tools (Notion, Linear, GitHub), self-management, and a deep technical specialty. Filter by "Remote-friendly" on any skill page to see roles that hire fully remote.

Question 4

Are technical skills worth more than soft skills?

Both matter. Technical skills get you the interview; soft skills (communication, collaboration, judgment) decide promotions and pay. Most senior remote roles weight them roughly 50/50.
