A personal inventory can reveal your abilities, interests and attitudes. It will define your strengths and your weaknesses. Looking for a match between your strengths and the work you are considering is the most important step before you write a resume or search for a job. In fact, when the time comes to write your resume and prepare for a job interview, you will find the task much easier the more you know about yourself. Answers will help you identify your strengths and help you to decide on what contributions you can make in the marketplace.

If you want to improve an area, take steps to work on it, e.g., a writing course to enhance written communication skills.
