2. LIST YOUR ASSETS
In addition to knowing your preferences, having an idea of the strengths that you bring to the table can be a great first step in searching for a job.
Your Skills
Think of your attributes. What strengths can you market to employers? The skills you bring to the table will determine what kind of job you get.
Your Training
Take stock of your training that emphasizes your skills. Certifications, licenses and advanced schooling all help convince a future employer that you will be an asset to the company and not a waste of resources.
Your Experience
This is a tricky one. Employers like to see a certain amount of experience in a given job because they do not want to spend time and money training you. If you don't have any direct experience in your chosen job you have to find a way to relate what you've done in the past to the position that you are chasing after.
Make a ChoiceUse your preferences as well as your assets to determine what jobs will be a good fit for you. Make a list of these jobs and get ready to do some job hunting.
