Experience Commons

Break the catch-22 of job hunting.

Experience Commons is a free, community-run platform. You need experience for a job, but you need a job for experience. Here you complete practical tasks linked to real, in-demand professions, defend your work in live peer reviews, and build a portable, verifiable record of real experience.

Free · Community-governed

How it works

The same process for every profession on the commons.

01
Pick a task

Browse practical tasks across recognised professions.

02
Do the work

Use fictional or anonymised inputs. No client data required.

03
Defend it live

Explain your reasoning in a peer-review call.

04
Earn a passport entry

A verified record is added to your shareable passport.

The peer-review call is required for every submission. It distinguishes work that can be explained and defended from work that cannot.

The gap this fills

Credentials and job ads disagree

Credentials measure attendance. Job ads ask for experience. The space in between is filled by unpaid internships, unverifiable CVs, and gatekept networks. None of these reliably show whether someone can do the work.

How the record is built

Practical work, independently verified

A neutral public commons where work is completed, peer-reviewed in a live call, and recorded. No certificate is for sale. The record belongs to the contributor. Competition for jobs is fierce. The gap this fills is the catch-22: you need a job for experience, but you need experience for a job.
