What is my personal contribution?
You are likely to contribute most in situations where there are opportunities for you to think and then
act. For example, analyzing a problem and then deciding on the best way forward. As you develop this
role, people will come to respect you for having the courage of your convictions. This will apply even if
your decision is not the best one, provided that you freely admit any mistakes if they occur. However,
the irony is that if you argue your point and turn out to be right in the end, you may not win any friends
among your equals. This is because there is always the danger that you will over-emphasize the power
of pure reason and logic. Therefore you may have to give greater attention to the fact that people do
not always act rationally. However, if you need to moderate your behaviour, make sure that you do not
lose your cutting edge. It would be better for those who know you well to see another side of you rather
than for you to play for safety in an attempt to please too many people.
By allowing other people to recognise where your contribution lies, you are more likely to achieve
personal fulfilment. Try to find a supportive person who appreciates advice and delegates well, as they
will be able to help you find work in line with your strengths. You can also try to build up your role by
working with individuals who combine social qualities with good common sense.
How should I present myself at interviews?
When the time comes to enter the workplace, you will need to project a positive and clear image of
yourself at interviews. This can be achieved by explaining how you like to view problems as
challenges - obstacles to be overcome. Where appropriate, back up what you say with examples. Ask
questions about the job or placement you are seeking, and about the history of the organisation or
institution you are going to. However, be careful that in your quest for answers you do not come across
as being unduly critical or aggressive.
How should I make the best out of my profile?
The remarks above may give some idea of how you can use your strengths to advantage. But bear in
mind that the desired opportunities will not always be there. Sometimes you will have to bide your
time, take on another role, and sacrifice your natural behaviour. You should learn to do this in a
disciplined way until the right openings occur. It is part of life that, for a while, all may not go in the
direction you would wish. So consider the advantages of working with someone who is good in areas
where you are weak. Such co-operation will leave intact your sense of personal identity, while allowing
you to develop your interpersonal skills.
In your particular case, there is one area where you may need some help or support. You do not
appear to have the characteristics of a person who can originate important ideas. New ideas may not
always matter. But where they do, look out for someone who can make a contribution in this area.
That person may be able to help you and, reciprocally, you make help that person in making the ideas
work.
