Early — the Gate Map is being walked by hand first

Three questions. Then your life, read as evidence.

No email. No account. Answers stay in your browser until you choose to save them — and each one is reflected back as evidence mapped to a real gate category, never a job promise.

1. Which of these have you actually done — paid or not?

Check everything that is true. Unpaid counts; responsibility is responsibility.

Cared for a family member — appointments, medications, schedules, the system around themHandled someone’s paperwork — benefits, insurance, claims, government formsHeld a community or congregation role — organized events, coordinated volunteers, kept a program runningWorked retail, food service, or another public-facing jobDid office, records, or data workWas trusted with money — a register, deposits, a budget, orderingServed in the militarySomething else you ran or were responsible for

Your words, kept verbatim. Templates do not guess — the full interview maps this properly.

2. How far did school go — finished or not?

Unfinished still counts. This is the least-known rule in the lane.

High school or GEDSome college — no degree yetAssociate degreeBachelor’s degree or beyond

3. Where would the work be?

Honest scope: the first map is Los Angeles.
