Researching Yourself

        Many people incorrectly assume that they know themselves well enough and that they don't need to spend time thinking about themselves.

        It is important to think your self and to reflect on how your experiences have prepared you. It is also important be able to articulate to a stranger what he or she is interested about you. It may awkward at first to talk about yourself if you are not accustomed to it.


To think about yourself, consider the followings:

=> Long-standing as well as brand-new interests and hobbies.

=> Talents and ability that you have.

=> Skills that you would like to develop or improve.

=> Activities and tasks that you would like to avoid.

=> Lifestyle, earnings , location.

=> Kinds of people and environments that you prefer.

=> Current career and educational goals.

=> Past experiences that you would like to highlight and what you have learned from them.

=> These could be ANY kind of experiences including work, volunteer, academic, artistic and travel.

Think broadly.....
