What Is Self-Assessment?
Self-Assessment is the process of gathering and understanding information about yourself. To know yourself is the essential first step in the career development process. It involves analyzing two elements of your personality--interests and skills. Thinking about these two elements as they relate to work will help you to identify the career fields, work environments, lifestyle, and job functions that you want to explore.
