What Makes You Unique?
Everyone has unique strengths and abilities. In order to best use your individual assets, first you need to gain a clear understanding of them. Ask yourself or have a friend ask you the following questions. They’re designed to help you think about your unique talents and abilities:
1. Computer programming has a different focus than providing customer service. Is your natural focus on people, data, or things? What is your secondary focus?
2. Are you more comfortable working indoors or outdoors?
3. Are you more comfortable seated or standing?
4. How do you balance the need to seek greater opportunity with the need for job security?
5. Would you rather design a plan or help carry it out?
6. Is your work tempo slow or fast?
7. Are you concerned about the details or workmanship of a job?
8. Do you enjoy competition in your work?
9. Would you rather work on commission or a salary?
10. Do you like a lot of direction or are you a self-starter?
11. Do you enjoy traveling in your work?
12. Do you prefer physical or mental labor or a mixture?
Once you have a handle on your nature and assets, you’re ready to develop a plan for your success. When you review your experience, interests, and abilities, you’ll realize your real strength is YOU!
