Companies spend a lot of energy figuring out their employees’ strengths through their observations, performance metrics, and popular surveys such as the Myers-Briggs Personality Test. With the average hire costing $4,129, employers seek to understand how their existing employees can be best utilized to complement each other’s skills and avoid replacing them in a costly hiring process.
Finding the right job is a matter of matching the skills you possess with a role that consistently utilizes them. When your strengths correlate closely with the work you are doing, success typically follows. An analytical mind lends itself well to a career in data analysis; someone who can coordinate multiple tasks simultaneously may be well suited to project management, and someone with high levels of empathy could excel in therapy or social work.
On today’s episode of Find Your Niche: A Career Podcast, host Lori Cole shares the results of her own strength finder journey. Discovering her strengths was only half the battle, and Cole utilized artificial intelligence to gauge how they could make her a can’t-miss candidate on her (theoretical) job search.
In addition to her strength finder demonstration, Cole speaks with a fellow Certified Career Coach and Clinical Counselor, Caitlin Magidson, about her career path. She also discusses three red flags you should watch out for to avoid taking a job from hell.
