#JobSearch : Identifying Your Strengths & Weaknesses – Where to Look. Question: What can you Contribute for the Job?

/in /by

Much of the time a candidate for a job is viewed in terms of what they can contribute to that job. Often, during an interview, you will be asked about your strengths and weaknesses. This is the time to be honest, but make sure you have an accurate view of yourself by looking carefully at the evidence.

Every job entails at least 4 places to look at for this evidence:

  • tasks
  • processes
  • relationships
  • communication 

Tasks are the actual things you have to do on the job. For instance, every certification you possess reflects a strength because you can do that task. If you are applying for a job that uses specific technical skills, those are tasks you need to be competent in.

Processes are the way you go about dealing with your responsibilities. You could utilize a coach to figure out your learning style or go over past reviews you’ve had. Ask a friend who won’t sugarcoat the painful truth to tell you where you need help. Do you make lists that get lost? Commit to too much and let things slide? Get sidetracked easily? Or the opposite; are you so set on doing a task that you miss important signals?

What Skill Sets Do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

Article continued …

Relationships are important because you do not work in a vacuum. Think about it; even those who work alone interact with somebody in order to do part of their job, right? The way you get along with coworkers affects team projects, workplace atmosphere, and a lot more. How do you react to criticism? To compliments?

Communication is the only way others can understand you. It’s one of my favorite subjects because it involves language for the most part, and I love words. But words have to say what you mean and be understood to mean what you thought you said. I will wait while you read that again…
…because it illustrates a point about communicating. If the people you are writing to, or calling, or trying to reach via your online profile do not understand what you say, it really doesn’t matter how great you thought you said it. This affects your resume because you communicate your appropriateness for the job. It affects your interview, because you communicate how you will be in the workplace. And it affects your workplace because communication is the oil in the gears that keeps the machinery of business running smoothly.
