I'm glad you'll be able to incorporate my questions in your client worksheets. Certainly, they apply to job seekers at any level. And you're so right, branding is essential for all job seekers who need a competitive advantage. But who doesn't? ;-) -Meg Hi Betty,

Williams Wed, 17 Jun 2009 17:40:43 +0000 http://blog.brand-yourself.com/?p=2306#comment-3165 Hi Meg, Great post! For those who have a hard time recognizing their own strengths, these questions are particularly helpful. My favorite is "What did you learn from me that helped you do your job better?" This gives colleagues and employees something concrete to focus on, and I bet it gets great results! My second favorite question is "What things do you know you can always rely on me to deliver?" That too helps colleagues be concrete in their answers. Executive clients can also turn these questions around and ask themselves what they think employees have learned from them and what can they always rely on them to do. Think I'll add these to my questions for all of my clients, not just the executives. I think all job search clients need to brand themselves. Hi Meg,

It may be hard to ask those you work with for feedback - essentially a pat on the back - but just as you say, they have insights that you may not have. Of course, another great benefit is the boost you'll get from their (hopefully) supportive input. -Meg Thanks for commenting, Dan.

I particularly like the questions that you encourage people to ask of their co-workers, such as "What would you say are my greatest strengths?" I've asked this question before and been surprised by the insightful responses. Sometimes our greatest strengths are the ones we don't even realize we possess, or the inherent traits we overlook because they come so naturally to us. Asking other people to point these things out is a great way of identifying the qualities that make us valuable in the workplace. Meg, I think this is a really good post.
