Better Job Skills - Tip Four, Measure Your Job Skills Against Required Competencies

September 22nd, 2007

It’s time to score yourself against the guidance you’ve been able to get hold of.

Bear in mind, that even if you have been careful to select a target job that suits your personality very well, you might still feel a bit short in some areas (which you can fix) – and that’s OK.

Truth is, if you have focused on a job that you really are suited to, you may already have been developing your skills subconsciously anyway. It’s funny how that happens sometimes.

Once you have this in place, you may well feel very energized by the opportunity this has presented. You might be nearer than you first thought you were and any developing your skills will be the icing on the cake!

If you look at the competencies you have been able to get hold of, they usually number between 6 and 10 for any one job.

The key now is what you are going to do about it next. And that’s where “How To Win At Assessment Centers” will make a difference!
