The best place to start with is yourself - but what do you need to know about yourself?
As you work through CMS, you will learn about three main aspects of your 'vocational profile'. These are represented in the diagram below and encapsulated in the terms Skills, Motivation and Personality.
The questions behind these terms are:
- Can I do the job? (Skills: demonstrated through qualifications, abilities, experience, aptitude tests)
- Will I do the job? (Motivation: interests, values, ambitions)
- Will I fit into the team/organisation? (Personality: personal traits, attitudes and preferences)
It may also be essential to consider constraints and special circumstances, such
as any physical or health disabilities, geographical restrictions, and
limitations of finance or family circumstance. There is a good deal of
special help available in the Careers
Service; ways of dwelling positively on what is possible, perhaps
using particular sources of information- see Additional
Resources.
