Now is the time to begin a self-assessment process that will give you more choices, broaden your options, and give you the confidence to know you are on the right career path.

In fact, when the time comes to write your résumé and prepare for a job interview, you will find the task easier if you have completed the self-assessment process first!

YOU are the place to start, so ask yourself:

• What do I do well?

• What am I good at?

• What do others tell me?

• What do I enjoy doing?

• What turns me on?

• What energizes me?
