THE YOU EXPERIENCE
4 Ways a Self-SWOT Analysis Can Make You a More Appealing Job Candidate
How do others experience you? Evaluate your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to level up your competitive game.
Soft skills matter, and we’re not talking about them enough. This series explores real-life situations and practical examples of techniques you can apply right away to design how others experience you.
An integral part of designing the way people experience you is to follow the tried and true process of product design. When tackling a design problem, we begin with discovery, research, interviews, brainstorming, hypothesizing, competitive analysis, and more — you know the drill.
We seek to understand the problem, we uncover it, we dig in to define it and seek validation.
So…if human-centered design works so well for product, why are we not turning that process back on ourselves? I mean, the word, “human”, is literally embedded in the methodology!
Well actually, we can and we should. If we want to be more appealing to hiring managers and recruiters, conducting a self-SWOT analysis is the key.
