Our New Career Tools Platform Is Here

Improvements we added to our Career Tools platform help you deliver more value to your members.

We responded to user feedback to vastly improve navigation and add new interactive features, including:

  • Assessments for building personal core competencies and greater career potential
  • A CV builder with a feedback tool for optimizing CVs to different viewers
  • An interview simulator with anticipated questions and a mock interview
  • A deep library of resources on career management and soft-skills development

The new Career Tools platform is the perfect resource to round out the other CFA Institute assets you offer to your members, including:

  • Job listings, search alerts, and career advice in our Career Center
  • Readings and multimedia from our Professional Learning resources on the investment management industry
  • An online career development assessment based on learning objectives in Career Success: Navigating the New Environment, Third Edition

Visit Society Center for digital marketing resources to help you promote Career Tools on your website.


FAQs 

What does the new Career Tools platform offer?

Our new, more robust platform features*:

  • Broader range of career assessments
  • Resume/CV builder and feedback tool
  • Interview simulator
  • Deep library of learning assets to support career mobility/management and soft skills development

*Please note that the vetted coaching offering available at cost under the prior (Insala-powered) Career Tools platform has been discontinued and is not part of the new Career Tools offering.  

When and how can users access the new Career Tools?

On 6 May, the Career Resources section of the CFA Institute website was updated with a link to access the new Career Tools. Links were updated on the Career Center simultaneously.

Stakeholder communications have been scheduled in a phased approach, as follows:

  • Friday, 8 May : Prior (Insala-powered) Career Tools users
  • Thursday, 14 May: active Career Center users
  • Tuesday, 26 May: society leaders and staff
  • Wednesday, 10 June: members (via Selections)

Who can access the new Career Tools?

Access to Career Tools requires CFA Institute account login and is available for:

  • CFA and CIPM Program candidates
  • charter pending individuals
  • members (including society local-only members*)
  • CFA Institute and CFA Society staff

*CFA Society members who are not members of CFA Institute and do not yet have an existing account with CFA Institute can use the “create account” functionality to access the new Career Tools.

How is this different from or related to the Career Center?

The new Career Tools and the Career Center are complementary platforms that will be interlinked to support the broad spectrum of our constituents’ career needs.

The Career Center enables users to browse job listings, create a dynamic profile, save job search alerts, and apply directly for jobs.

The new Career Tools will enable users to engage in content and resources to support their career mobility/management and soft skills development. It will ultimately replace the Careers Advice content currently available on the Career Center.

CFA Societies who are participating in the Career Center initiative can contact Dana Anton or Sam Nochitta at CareerManagement@cfainstitute.org  to discuss website updates to incorporate the resources available via the new Career Tools offering.

Who can users contact for additional help or questions?

If you would like to discuss how your society can operationalize this new offering, please contact Society Operations at societysupport@cfainstitute.org

Please direct or forward any user feedback or questions about the platform to Heather Packard via our central mailbox, professionallearning@cfainstitute.org

Sincerely,
Professional Learning
