Continued from previous post ...In the earlier portion of her NINA talk, NIU Business Dean Schoenbachler recommended reading the book, “Strengths Finder,” by Tom Rath, as a step toward knowing and presenting yourself well.
The book helps you map your career. Learn your strengths, then develop a plan to build, grow and develop them, rather than spending so much time addressing weaknesses. Schoenbachler recommended asking yourself questions like:
- What are my strengths?
- What are my passions? How do I implement those passions?
- What are my hobbies?
- What organizations am I a part of?
- What relevant experience do I have?
- What is my story? Can I tell a compelling story about myself?
- What do I hate about my day?
- What is my unique selling proposition? How/why am I different?
- What is my value proposition – what I bring to my market or my job?
