Self - Assessment
Self-Assessment is the first step of the career planning process. It is the process of gathering information about yourself in order to make informed and intelligent career decisions
Self-Assessment depends on your ability to reflect on yourself, which further depends on your intrapersonal intelligence
Self-Assessment, if done diligently at the beginning of career planning, can help reduce career related issues to a large extent as it helps you take informed decisions.
Self-Assessment is not a one time process. It needs to be done regularly for the following reasons:
- To check if the progress is as per the plan
- To check if resources required are adequate
- To check if you need to equip yourself with additional qualifications or skills to achieve the goals that you have set for yourself
- To make course correction, if required
- To ensure continuous improvement
