Plan Your Career

Learn More About Yourself

Identify and record your personal career assets like abilities, accomplishments, and interests. Get to know your core skills and traits and be able to apply them to a new job or even a new way of working.

Self-assessment helps you identify 4 important things:

1. Who you are
2. What you do best
3. What people and places (environments) give you energy
4. What motivates you

Knowing these things about yourself provides a foundation for your career.
