At other times we talked about how to handle interviews work and how to prepare your resume . As you know in these two steps in addition to see your expertise and experience, it is also important to emphasize your strongest qualities and talents that fit the professional profile they seek. And the first step to this end, we emphasize and know what we are good.
Getting a good job, as ingredients required to detect these personal qualities that make a difference to turn into a fortress and then in a job competition. Since the true test for a candidate to demonstrate they meet, they know what your talents are and how they add value to work.
Talent can be defined as a recurring pattern of thought, feeling or behavior that can be applied productively, according to a definition of Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton, psychologists and authors of the book “Discover Your Strengths”.
In order to know your talents, you can start by taking the time to answer these questions:
- What are you doing well? What you always compliment?
- Why are recognized quality (a) by your colleagues, boss, family, friends and teachers?
- In what situations very well and you feel uncomfortable in what (a)?
- In what context make a difference?
- What work have you felt most comfortable with what people and colleagues, and why?
Another activity that works is to ask how you look around you friends and family. Questions about what items are your “strong” and what are the weaknesses.
To make visible the talent , we must be attentive to the spontaneous and immediate reactions that must deal with any situation, mentioned in his Buckingham and Clifton. In addition, other “clues” that can help you, like having your desires and present what you learn quickly or causes satisfaction.
So you know, think about what are your talents and do everything possible to make them look especially in job interviews so they can be a key to a possible job.
