| The prospect of looking for a new job, whether out of necessity or want, is an imposing task. And not only is it a task, it is many tasks. In this section we will try to help you get a handle on what needs to be done. Much of it is preparation. Job seekers must first understand what skills they can bring to an employer, and be able to put that down on a resume, before they can begin to make contact about potential jobs. Self-assessment is as much a part of the process as writing a resume or interviewing. In fact, knowing what kind of job you want, where you want to work and in what kind of environment is essential for any successful job search.
Start here! Think about what it is that you want and why you are looking for a new job in the first place. Use the exercise below to get yourself thinking about your career and apply your findings to the career objective you write for your resume. |

Self-Assessment
On a separate sheet of paper, take the time to write answers to the following questions. This will help you to organize your resume and emphasize your strengths. When formulating your answers, think about how you might word certain skills and accomplishments on your resume.
- What are the specific job skills that you want to "sell" to your next employer?
- Quantify your past accomplishments for your future employer (e.g., "Composed business plan for new product line which generated $100,000 in additional revenue").
- What type of transferable skills and abilities do you bring to a job (e.g., managerial, organizational, analytical)?
- What special skills do you have that would make you stand out among other candidates (e.g., computer literacy, bilingual, published works)?
Now, describe your interpersonal strengths as they relate to the job you want. |
