You also need to assess your <em data-start=\"3008\" data-end=\"3027\">natural strengths<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3030\" data-end=\"3042\">Think about:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3310\">\n<li data-section-id=\"z83ltq\" data-start=\"3044\" data-end=\"3129\">Are you detail-oriented?
