Mr. M...Have you seen this site for job hunting?
Last week Mrs. Mulliner checked out What Color is Your Parachute? and we just now got done with an extensive exercise to list my skills. In this exercise there are 10 different questions, each of which probes you in a different way to help you find your skills.
At the end you highlight your six favorite skills. My list is: problem-solving, interacting with people, interacting cross-culturally, explaining/teaching, telling a story, and traveling. (I reserve the right to change my answers, though.)
Not sure where this will lead, but I think it's probably a good exercise for people who are really open to finding their most fulfilling career.
