Identify and embrace processes that enhance operations and foster a people-centric approach. Recognize patterns in your interests and strengths, particularly in product marketing, by analyzing what aspects you enjoy, such as competitive analysis and market research. Conduct a thorough review of past roles to distinguish between tasks that energized you versus those that drained you. Use a structured approach, like a grid, to categorize strengths and preferences, thereby making informed decisions about your career trajectory and focusing on activities that align with your enthusiasm and operational improvement goals.
