Don Huse wrote an excellent post on the need for self-assessment as you begin your job search. In an excerpt from his Job Search Strategy Guide, Don writes:
“Essential to job search success is honest self-assessment, a process that will enhance your ability to articulate your strengths. Start by listing all of the jobs you’ve had since you began your professional career. Then identify the component skills used in each job – don’t dismiss seemingly insignificant skills! Just because something seems to come easily to you doesn’t mean that it is not of great value to a potential employer. Next, thoughtfully identify one or two significant achievements you had in each job, focusing on the results you delivered.”
It’s great advice and you can find the post here and download the free Job Search Strategy Guide here.
