Building your Career DNA: a first-week playbook

Your first week on RiseIQ sets the foundation for everything Helios does next. Here's a simple day-by-day playbook to get your Career DNA working for you fast.

Day 1 — Seed your graph

Import or type in your history: education, projects, roles, and skills you're proud of. Don't over-polish — Helios cares about signal, not perfect prose. Even a rough start gives the graph something to reason over.

Day 2–3 — Let Scout find fit

Open Scout and review your first skill-based matches. Each match shows a fit score, your strengths, and one clear gap. Pick one opportunity that excites you and let it guide your week.

Day 4–5 — Prove and prepare

Use Scribe to draft an evidence-grounded résumé or statement, then run a Forge mock interview for the role you chose. The scored feedback becomes part of your Career DNA — your readiness is now measurable.

Day 6–7 — Build momentum

Add your active applications to Radar so nothing slips, and check Mission Control for your RiseIQ Score and the three best moves for next week. By day seven, your graph is alive and Helios is orchestrating.
