Self Assessment

Self-assessment is an important step for anyone considering their next pursuits, whether that be an internship or full-time job.

Assessing your skills, interests, values, and abilities may take many forms. The ECO will go so far as to say that an honest and thorough assessment of one's skills, knowledge, values, and personal attributes can be life-altering. Below, the ECO has provided a self-assessment to get you started in your job search. A companion piece, the Personal Strategic Career Plan, will help you put it all together as the foundation for your internship/job search strategy. The ECO recommends using the PathwayU assessment licensed by UVA, to have your interests, personality, and values align with careers. For widely used and industry-standard self assessments the ECO recommends the Career Leader.
