I wish I'd known earlier in my career how to make the most of my talents and that soft skills are just as important as technical skills. In almost every job interview, the interviewee is asked some form of the question, "What is your biggest strength/weakness?" It can be difficult for people to objectively determine these traits for themselves, so they often take assessment tests that identify those traits for them. I have taken many such personality assessments, received talent coaching, and undergone other training to understand my own strengths and weaknesses, identify such traits in others, and use that knowledge to develop and lead diverse teams. Very early in my career, however, one such assessment made me question how I would thrive within my research engineering position or in any engineering environment. |
