### **If you are an Employee**

**You should regularly update your profile if you want to get the most out of** **SkillPanel**. Once you onboard yourself, it is recommended to regularly self-assess your skills when you feel that you have improved or didn't use certain skills for a long time and your fluency has since decreased.

Besides tracking progress, **SkillPanel **is a great place to find new areas to explore (read [here](https://devskiller-help.refined.site/space/TBG/2894233620/How+to+use+%2522My+career%2522+section%253F) how to use **“My Career”** section). This can be achieved by checking the relevance to your skillset, focusing on one additional area to specialize in, broadening your skillset to become a generalist, or expanding it to management and "people" skills. **SkillPanel** has a built-in recommendation system to dynamically tailor your career path and propose new skills to you. Acquiring new skills is easy with the learning materials provided.

**SkillPanel** also allows you to find mentors and experts within your organization who can most likely help boost your personal growth.

To summarize, the key factor is to be open and share your skills. **SkillPanel** will enable you to overview your current skill set, help you grow, and keep track of any changes. Developing and updating your skillset can be a great area of dialogue with your manager, and team members. 

### **If you are a Manager**
