Preparation for the search
Self-analysis
Before you start looking for a job, it would be good to find out what you actually like, but also to know what your strengths and weaknesses are. This part of knowing yourself will help you understand the value you can bring to a future workplace, which suitable position or job you want to consider. Understanding your strong and weak points will definitely be helpful for the future job interviews, when you are expected to “sell yourself”. How can you do that?
