Getting You On The Right Track

For the next few weeks we will be doing a series called, "Getting YOU on the Right Track" for a CAREER...not just a job. Take some time and really think about the answers. Look at yourself from several different viewpoints: Your own, Boss, and Friend. If it helps, ask your friends to assist you on this (with the caveat that only honesty will help you move forward!)

Week 1:
ABILITIES INVENTORY

Now is the time to inventory what you have to offer an employer. It is essential that you identify the skills and knowledge you have obtained in your education and previous employment. Review your past accomplishments to identify the specific skills that will be beneficial to an employer.

SKILLS
Group these skills in the following three areas: PEOPLE - working with people on an Individual or Group Basis, DATA - working with information, knowledge, concepts, words, numbers, and ideas, THINGS - working with inanimate objects, materials, substances, machines, equipment, or products.


PEOPLE




DATA



THINGS



Examine the skills you have identified. Check or circle those you found more satisfying and rewarding. These are the skills you will most likely use in a job you find satisfying.
