Reviewing your self-assessment

Honest self-assessment is as important in networking as it is in all other aspects of your job search.

During the networking process, you will need to be able to clearly articulate your personal traits, personal values, long-term goals, as well as your current and preferred skill set, to the people with whom you are networking.

In particular, you need to have determined which of your skills are of value to an employer, and be able to express them in ways that an employer can appreciate.
