Before you can figure out what job is right for you, you’ve got to figure out who you are. Yes, it’s a big question but the more you analyze and assess now, the more happiness and success you’ll have down the road. There are thousands of resources to help you dig down to find who you are and what you’re passionate about – they’re available online, in the library, in books, on CDs, and on DVDs. And with today’s economy, job development and support groups that provide huge networking opportunities are popping up all over town. Start by asking yourself a few questions, and write down your answers, because they all add up to who you are: - What do you like to do?
- What interests you? art, math, writing, reading, helping people, analyzing data?
- Do you like to work on a team or in an office by yourself?
- Are you social, do you like to be around people?
- Are you a talker, or a listener?
