Qualities Assessment

Self-assessment is a process by which you learn more about yourself -- what you like, what you don't like, and how you tend to react to certain situations. Knowing these things can help you determine which occupations and work situations could be a better fit for you. You may recognize some of these tools if you ever worked with a career or consultant.

You are most likely to succeed in life if you use your talents to their fullest extent. Meaning knowing full well what are your capabilities and your shortcomings in handling challenges presented in career and working environment.

Basing on this view, I personally prefer to utilize the use of SWOT analysis in order to determine and to specifically assess my qualities and skills as an individual and hence further in this report I would then choose and base my career choice depending on the result of this following analysis that I would do to assess my individual skill and competencies.

What makes SWOT especially powerful is that, with a little thought, it can help you uncover opportunities that you would not otherwise have spotted. And by understanding your weaknesses, you can manage and eliminate threats that might otherwise hurt your ability to move forward.

If you look at yourself using the SWOT framework, you can start to separate yourself from your peers, and further develop the specialized talents and abilities you need to advance your career.
