The 6-Step Personal & Professional Assessment for Your Resume
Creating an effective resume starts with deep self-knowledge. This 6-step personal and professional assessment guides you through a structured process to clearly understand who you are, what you can offer, and where you want to go in your career.
Step 1 begins with writing your biography — reviewing your education, work experience, professional associations, and paraprofessional activities.
Then move on to identify your Knowledge (Step 2), Expertise/Skills (Step 3), Interpersonal skills — including strengths and areas for improvement (Step 4), Interests (Step 5), and finally your Core Values (Step 6).
By completing exercises such as describing a typical work week, listing achievements, choosing adjectives that define you, and ranking your top values, you will build a clear picture of your profile.
