See How Your Interests Align With Any Career
We have introduced a new Interest Match feature to every Occupation page on Beesla. This tool connects the results from our Interest Profiler directly to the careers you explore. It is designed to help you answer one of the most important questions in career planning: Does this job actually fit me?
When you complete the Beesla Interest Profiler, you receive a RIASEC profile. This is a six-letter code and corresponding scores that reflect your top interest areas. These interests include Realistic, Investigative, Artistic, Social, Enterprising, and Conventional. Each occupation in our database also has its own RIASEC profile sourced directly from O*NET. Until now, you could view your profile separately from the occupation profiles, but there was no direct connection.
The Interest Match feature bridges that gap. On any Occupation page, if you have completed the Interest Profiler, you will see two radar charts displayed side by side. The chart on the left shows your personal RIASEC scores. The chart on the right shows the scores for that specific occupation. The two charts are aligned by the same scale and category order, making it easy to visually compare them.
Right between the charts you will see a Match Score. This number is calculated using a cosine similarity between your RIASEC vector and the occupation’s vector. In simpler terms, it measures the angle between the two sets of scores and converts that into a percentage. A score close to 100% means your interests are very closely aligned with the demands and environment of that career. A lower score means the fit is weaker and you might want to investigate whether the parts that do not match are things you can adapt to or are willing to accept.
By putting this data side by side, the Interest Match feature helps you make more informed career decisions. Instead of guessing whether a job will feel engaging, you can base your decision on how much the work aligns with what naturally motivates you. This reduces the risk of chasing a role that looks attractive on paper but turns out to be unfulfilling in daily reality.
The feature is also useful for recruiters and career counselors. Recruiters can better understand if a candidate’s natural interests align with a role’s requirements. Career counselors can use the visual comparison as a starting point for discussions about potential career paths, training opportunities, or alternative options.
You do not need to re-take the Interest Profiler for every job you explore. Once you have completed it, the Interest Match is automatically calculated and displayed for all occupations across the site. This allows you to quickly scan and compare multiple roles in a single session.
Other updates on the Occupation page
While the Interest Match is the headline feature, this update also includes several other improvements that make the Occupation page a richer and more practical resource.
Job Outlook
Every occupation now displays an outlook category such as “Faster than average growth” along with a plain language description. This makes it easy to see at a glance whether the field is expanding, stable, or shrinking, based on O*NET’s labor market projections.
Salary Bands with Median Highlight
We have introduced clear annual and hourly wage charts that display the 10th percentile, median, and 90th percentile values. The median is visually highlighted so you can see the center point instantly while still comparing the lower and upper ranges.
Deep-Dive Career Sections
The page organizes detailed data into collapsible sections for skills, abilities, knowledge, education requirements, work context, technology skills, and tools used. A sticky side navigation menu allows you to jump directly to the section you care about without endless scrolling.
Related Job Title Search by Location
From within the Occupation page, you can search for both the occupation title and the most common related job titles, automatically filtered by your saved location or by “Remote” if you have not set a location. This makes it faster to go from researching a career to finding active job postings that match it.
