Self-assessment is a great way to get to know yourself and can be essential preparation for a job search, for interviews and for negotiations. To get where you want to go, you have to know where you want to go. Self-assessment can be the first step along the way. Self-assessment is a process through which you become aware of your strengths and weaknesses, skills and abilities, interests, values, goals, and aspirations. For our purposes, self-assessment is aimed at preparing you to feel comfortable in interview situations where the topic is you, in negotiations where you have to be prepared to articulate your skills, and finally in planning your career where knowing where you want to go depends entirely upon knowing where you are.
