Start By Assessing Your Skills
- Assess what skills and strengths you actually bring before asking what you want.
- Ask colleagues, supervisors, and loved ones what you do better than average to identify marketable value.
Use Tests As One Input Not The Answer
- Use assessments like Myers-Briggs or DiSC if you need structure, but don't over-rely on quizzes.
- Supplement tests with real feedback from coworkers and friends to get a realistic view of strengths.
Job Searching Is Marketing Yourself
- A job search is essentially a marketing campaign for yourself, so you must know what you can sell.
- Belief in your concrete skills matters more than abstract self-worth when positioning for employers.
