  • Not everyone knows what they’re good at.

    No matter how many self-tests I took, I would never have picked the job I have now that actually fits me well. As much as I tried to keep it objective and think about my experiences with the work I’ve done, I would consistently pick something that I thought other people would like to see me do, or something that seems easy.

    Turns out I really enjoy a job that I need a lot of training and practice to be good at, and that others often dismiss as basic work.

    Idk what kind of person can figure out their own strengths just by thinking about it, and what makes them different from me. I just wanted to point out that self-tests aren’t always the golden key to launch you into your highest potential. For me, it took the insight of other people who have been with me for years to help me put together what I couldn’t see in myself.

    Edited for clarity and to add about the insight of others
