However, it is just as important that you know yourself in order to ensure that you are happy and productive on the job. Each of us is an individual and each of us has unique skills that set us apart from others. It is also important for each of us to determine which of the many skills we have that we prefer to use in employment. Three - Exploring Interests Let's explore interests first since they involve our basic character and outlook on life. While interests show us which jobs we would enjoy, we are not equally suited for all jobs.
Aptitudes indicate how easily a person can learn a particular skill.
Some jobs require high scores in all aptitudes. Most jobs require middle to high scores in one or two areas. List those that you are still considering after examining your aptitudes. Feel free to add occupations as well. Each of us has up to 700 different skills, yet we often approach the job hunt feeling we have little to offer.
