Answers
Answer:
When it comes to job hunting, it’s critically important that you identify your skills and can clearly and persuasively articulate these skills to prospective employers. Surprisingly large numbers of students and graduates do not have a clear understanding of what they have to offer an employer, and can sabotage their job hunting efforts as a result!
A ‘self-assessment’ is an important preparatory step for any graduate job seeker. It’s a process of actively reflecting on yourself and your experiences to identify core skills, goals, knowledge, attributes and motivations. It may seem like a bit of a procrastination technique, but it’s actually a healthy and worthwhile activity that will greatly improve your prospects of getting a job (and more importantly, the right one) and help you to make sound career decisions.
Even if you already have a good idea of your skills, it’s worth taking the time to do a focused self-assessment. The benefits of this exercise include:
drawing your attention to previously unrecognised skills
improving your job applications and interview performance
increasing your confidence and self-awareness.
