DISCUSSION: Strengths
Reflect on recent career assignments: Strengths
- Strengths and wanderings. Do the items on your wanderings diagram represent opportunities you've had to discover, develop, and improve those strengths? How about the experiences listed on your resume?
- Developing strengths. What kinds of choices about courses, student activities, volunteer activities, or hobbies could you make in the future to provide more opportunities to better develop the strengths that you've identified?
- Weaknesses are strengths. Did you identify any new strengths that you've previously thought of as "weaknesses"? If so, how can you change the story that your resume tells in order to recast those as strengths?
- Strengths on your resume. Are there ways of talking about your top strengths that you can make more evident on your resume? (Not by "listing" your strengths on your resume, but by demonstrating them in the bullet points under your experiences.)
