Evidence
Show more than a list of claims
A useful cyber skills profile shows more than the name of a skill. Your Skills Wallet can connect relevant evidence to the capability it supports, helping you remember how you built it and giving future conversations more context. Different evidence answers different questions, so use the source that best fits the skill.

Two useful tools
A Skills Wallet and a resume do different jobs
Most applications still need a resume. Your resume summarizes your career history for a particular opportunity. Your Skills Wallet keeps a broader, structured record of skills and supporting information that you can update as your capability changes.
| Category | Resume | Skills Wallet |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Presents career history for a specific opportunity | Keeps a structured record of skills and evidence |
| Typical contents | Roles, responsibilities, achievements, and education | Skills, credentials, projects, goals, and preferences |
| How evidence appears | Claims supported by references and interview discussion | Relevant evidence connected to specific skills |
| How it changes | Tailored for the role you are applying to | Updated as your skills and evidence grow |
| When it helps | Introduces your experience to a hiring team | Adds context before a career or hiring conversation |
Employer visibility
Choose whether employers can discover your profile
When employer visibility is available, you decide whether to opt in. A discoverable profile can help employers understand your capability, evidence, interests, and preferences. Your assessment answers and private account activity should remain outside that view.
-
Private while you build
Keep building your Wallet without making it available to employers.
-
Share for a specific next step
Use your profile to support an application or career conversation when sharing tools are available.
-
Employer discovery when available
Opt in only when you want relevant employers to find your profile.
-
Keep the context attached
Let employers see the evidence and experience connected to a skill, not just the skill name.
Your choice
You stay in control of how your profile is used
Build your Skills Wallet for yourself first. Share or enable visibility only when the relevant controls are available and you are ready to use the profile for a specific next step. Review the privacy settings before making any information discoverable.
-
Keep building privately
Use the Wallet to organize your skills, goals, and evidence before you share anything.
-
Share for a clear purpose
Make information available only when an application, employer conversation, or career step needs it.
-
Update your choice
Return to your settings as your circumstances change and keep the profile current.
Use the profile
Use your Wallet to make the next decision clearer
