Thank you for your excellent question R.T. and fo... |

Start Your Career with Self-Assessment by Thomas J. Denham - Jan, 2011 Most of my clients don’t know what they want to be when they grow up, and often say to me, “I just don’t know what I want to do.” The very first step is Self-assessment.

It begins with an extensive and written inventory of your “VIPS” (Values, Interests, Personality Traits and Skills). The goal is to buil... |
