Whether you are 25 or even if you are 50. Career is certainly a topic that interests you and may even bother you.
In your dream you probably know where you want to be at the height of your career. Every role on the way is supposed to be another part of the puzzle of your life that brings you closer to fulfilling your dream.
The process of choosing where you want to be depends on your abilities, your skills, the strengths you bring with you, your learning background, your experience.
At any stage you are in competition for a position you are interested in and you think is another step that advances you towards the goal.
In preparation and preparation for interviews, many present the strengths they would like to have and not necessarily the strengths they have. Sometimes candidates tend to confuse strengths and indicate strength, areas such as human relations, communication, work ethics, loyalty to the organization as the main strengths. Incidentally, they not only note it as a strength but believe that it is really important.
When you are faced with an important role, you must prepare a table and define the strengths that are necessary for the MUST HAVE function, and what strengths are an advantage if you have NICE TO HAVE. Do not allow yourself to be confused.
If this is your managerial role, your strengths should focus on managerial capabilities –
Leadership, harnessing and leading employees, professional ability, analytical or systemic thinking, learning curve, decision making processes, etc. It is also important to have organizational politics, work ethics, loyalty to the organization, interpersonal communication and a solid foundation of values.
If you are talking about your sales force, your strengths should be based on a trusting skill, a long lasting relationship, messaging ability, understanding what is bothering the customer and what the answer is, listening to the messages conveyed to you, and understanding the internal relationship.
The role of your analyst / economist / information should be based on analytical capabilities, data collection, information prioritization, analysis, conclusions and recommendations, market understanding and scenario-building ability, understanding of competition and market trends.
In every role, a foundation of values, integrity, loyalty to the organization and work ethic, good interpersonal relations and emotional intelligence will only continue to give you an edge in the next job.
Interviewers do not like slogans, the time you have to impress is short, try to bring examples of any strength you mentioned. How does it manifest itself? And what benefit would it bring the organization if it recruited you? So when you mention strength, give an example and do not wait for the interviewer to ask you for an example.
Whether your experience is short or the experience of many years, do not be afraid of the failures you have accumulated, whether in the army, in school, at work. What is important is not how and how much you fail, but what you learned from failure, what was the way you dealt with the failure, and whether the failure for you was and still is a quick egg or the way you have taught you and the world about your strengths.
Your thinking should be what my strength is, what benefit it will bring to an organization that will absorb me and recruit me into its ranks.
