Self-assessment |
Self-assessment is a key competency we all need to navigate the world of work successfully. One way you can build these skills is by conducting some form of self-assessment after each job interview. Self-assessment is the ability to evaluate your strengths and weaknesses effectively. Evaluating your interview skills/performance is about understanding which areas you feel confident with and which areas you would like to/need to improve on.
A critical step in conducting a thorough self-assessment is to seek feedback and incorporate the feedback you receive into your assessment. When it comes to interviews, feedback can be extremely valuable.
