April 30, 2010, Newsletter Issue #28: The First Step: Assess Your Strengths

Tip of the Week

One of the most important first steps in conducting a job search is to perform an assessment of the type of job you’re best suited for. This will be integral to your success. Having a game plan is vital.

Make a list of your strengths and talents. Whether you’re fresh out of high school or a recent college graduate, it’s imperative to perform a bit of self analysis. Matching your abilities to a list of potential fields gives you the power to concentrate your efforts.

Research growing industries. It’s smart to have an understanding of the employment potential of certain fields before diving headlong into a career search.. For example if you read that the auto industry is in serious decline, it would make little sense to pursue a job with an automobile factory.

If you have difficulty going about this task, make an appointment with a professional staffing agency to discuss your potential employment opportunities.
