Any good resources which illustrate decision making models for career choices? Particularly ones that help you audit your strengths and weaknesses and therefore potential efficacy in given roles?
I had a look over the E.A. Forum, and there’s no decision making models for how to choose a career. There’s a lot of “draw the rest of the owl” stuff like—“Get a high paying salary so you can donate”. Okay, but how? There’s certainly a lot of job openings announced on the forum, but again, how do I know which one’s I, me, am best suited to? Which types of positions am I going to be most effective in? Perhaps the real question is—“which roles will I be judged by recruiters and those hiring as being most suitable for? What decision making models are they using?”
If the question was “What are you most passionate about?” then I’d be like “filmmaking or music videos” and I’ve spent the last 15 and 6 years respectively trying to figure out how to make that work in practice. And that is probably a completely different methodology that involves “build a portfolio” “build a profile” “network”. The meta-skill stuff about self-promotion I suck at.
At the root, I think, is the same problem and knowing which roles to apply for—my complete dearth of knowledge about what other people see as valuable.
So where are the resources that help you audit yourself: see where your weaknesses really are, not jut what you think they are, where are the resources that help you align your strengths and knowledge (both theoretical and tacit) with actual job-market positions?
Or alternatively, how can I build better models of what other people find valuable?
