Question

Daniel just graduated from college. He earned a degree but didn't feel prepared for any line of work. He went to the school's placement office and took a battery of tests to see where his strengths and weaknesses might lie. To some extent, he was surprised by the results. He knew he was strong in technical skills, but he didn't realize his people skills were suspect. His advisor suggested that he get a job that will develop his weaker skills, because that's where he will grow the most. Good advice? *

Answer 1

The advice cannot be considered to be good because:

• People tend to evolve and develop more in skills about which they already have a piece of knowledge.
• Jobs should be taken in areas of strength so that a person can do what he likes.
• Daniel will not enjoy a job in which he has weak skills but he'll enjoy a job in which his skills are good. Also, he'll be enthusiastic to learn more about a skill which he already has a good grip on.
• While choosing a job, focuses on a person's strength shall be considered first.
