Knowing Yourself to Find Your "Feel Good Company"

To truly meet recruiters' expectations, you must first know yourself. To do this, you must, in particular, take stock of your skills. Thanks to this self-assessment, you will define your true aspirations and more precisely express your professional objectives to recruiters.
To make the best choices, there is no point in sending your CV everywhere. You should rather pay attention to the job market, and, beforehand, determine what your professional aspirations are. You will then be better able to identify the companies that suit you and thus optimize your chances of finding a job.

Taking Stock of Your Skills
 

Taking stock of your skills is a thoughtful process that allows you to evaluate your skills, abilities, interests, and values in order to make informed decisions about your career. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you conduct an effective skills assessment:

1. Self-assessment: Start by examining your professional background, past achievements, and acquired skills. Identify your strengths, weaknesses, technical and transversal skills, and your most significant achievements.

2. Interests and values: Think about what really motivates you in your work. What are your passions, values, and professional interests? Identify what is essential to you in a career through the Feel Good report of the 4K personality test.

3. Skills assessment: Evaluate your technical skills (such as mastery of specific software) and transversal skills (such as communication, problem-solving, leadership, etc.).

4. Experience analysis: Review your professional experiences, internships, training, and important projects. Identify the skills you have developed through these experiences.

5. External feedback: Ask colleagues, close friends, or mentors for their opinion on your skills and strengths. Their perspectives can provide valuable information that you might overlook.

6. Comparison with market demands: Study job offers and job descriptions in your field of interest. Compare your current skills with the skills requested by employers.

7. Goal setting: Based on your findings, define short-term and long-term professional goals. Identify the skills you need to develop or improve to achieve these goals.

8. Development planning: Develop an action plan to acquire the skills necessary to achieve your goals. This could involve training, online courses, mentors, or specific projects.

9. Implementation of the plan: Put your action plan into practice by actively participating in the training, projects, and development opportunities you have identified.

10. Continuous reflection: As you progress, take the time to reflect on your new skills and how they have improved your career. Adapt your plan accordingly.

11. Periodic re-evaluation: Conduct regular skills assessments to evaluate your progress, adjust your goals, and identify new development opportunities.

12. Ask for professional help: If you find the process difficult, consider working with a career coach or professional guidance counselor. They can provide advice and methods to facilitate the skills assessment.
 

Targeting a Company Culture

To be effective in your job search, you must apply for jobs that match your profile and personality. You must therefore determine the company culture in which you want to work.
In a small structure, you will generally obtain more autonomy and a more versatile role. On the other hand, a large group will offer you well-defined supervision and greater security. But don't just stop at the size of a company. To make your choice, you must refer to your personal assessment.
