Step 2. Identify Skills, Values, and Strengths

Before you proceed, here are a couple of terms for reference:

  • Skills are abilities that can be learned or developed.
  • Values are core beliefs or principles that guide decisions and give work meaning. Examples include job security, independence, or helping others.

After writing your stories, reflect and create your list of skills and values you demonstrated; add these to your worksheet. Repeat this process for your second and third stories. Pay attention to recurring and patterns of skills and values that may inform your career direction.

Use the upcoming "Drag and Drop" activities for help:

Remember to use the Drag and Drop activities for all three of your stories!
