Number Two: Analyze Yourself Carefully
Before you go out and look for a job, you must sit down and take
stock of yourself. You must look deeply into yourself and make
some clear decisions about who you are and where you want to
be in the future. It is only when you have a good understanding
of yourself and your own desires and ambitions that you can go
out and get the job you want.
Remember the famous observation by Socrates. He said:
“The unexamined life is not worth living.”
Look into yourself and identify your marketable skills. Look into
yourself and make a list of all the things that you can do that
someone in the marketplace would be willing to pay for. Here
are some questions that you can ask and answer before you
ever go to your first interview:
First, what are your skills?
What can you do? What have you learned through education
or experience that enables you to make a contribution to a
company?
Second, what have you done well at various jobs and
activities in the past?
What sort of activities have been most responsible for your
success in your work life today?
Third, what sort of activities in your work and your personal
life do you most enjoy?
Remember, you will almost always be the most successful doing
the things that you enjoy the most.
Fourth, what parts of your work do you do most easily and
well?
What you’ve done well in the past is often an indicator of what
you would do best in the future.

Doctors say that, “Accurate diagnosis is half the cure.” In your
case, accurate self-analysis, taking the time to sit and think
through the answers to these questions, is half the job of getting
the ideal position for you.
The good news is that you will always do the very best at
something that makes you the happiest. In fact, where you have
been happy and successful in the past is the very best indication
of where your true talents and abilities lie for the future. Your
goal is to find a job doing something that enables you to use the
very best and highest qualities and abilities that you have inside.
