Self assessment

Why analyse your skills?

You may well be preparing for one of the following:

Career and Personal Planning
CV Preparation
Completing Application Forms
Writing Letters of Application
Interviews
Replying to Job Adverts

Throughout your life you develop a range of skills. However you may not recognise these skills in yourself. Think about things you have done and the activities you carry out.

It is quite common for people to feel they have little to offer an employer in the way of skills. Take time to think about what you can actually offer. The Which skills are in demand by employers? section is designed to help you to identify what skills you do have, and consider how useful they might be in a job.
