Self-assessment
Finding the best job for you requires knowing what motivates you, what skills you have and what interests you. For example,
-
What do you value in a career?
-
What motivates you to go to work each day?
-
What skills and abilities do you already have?
Conducting a self-assessment is one of the first steps in creating your own IDP. Through self-assessment you will identify your academic and professional strengths and weakness, your interests and your values.
