Analysing Yourself
No sensible marketeer goes to market without a
full understanding of the product they are selling – both positive and negative.
Similarly, no one enters a buying situation without a full understanding of what they want
to buy. As a job seeker, you are both buying and selling – so an early analysis in
these areas is essential.
What you are marketing is a very complex resource
(you!), which comprises your education and qualifications, your work experience, your
transferable skills, your strengths and, possibly, your interests (where they could affect
your marketability). You will immediately recognise these as being the areas that will be
covered in your CV, production of which will follow naturally from the analysis you are
about to do.
