CAREER PLANNING- Self-assessment

'Self-knowledge' can help you more easily decide on a career direction that suits you. It can also help you as you manage your career to decide what opportunities to pursue.

A self-assessment can reveal your characteristics, interests, values and skills. It will define your strengths and your weaknesses. Looking for a match between these and the work you are considering is the most important step you can take before you write a resume or begin the search for a job. In fact, when the time comes to write your resume and prepare for a job interview, you will find the task easier if you have completed the self-assessment process first.
