My job interests
I tend to take the adaptive attitude towards job and the dollar value is a big factor in making some of these decisions.
On the other hand, after these few years of working, I learn more about my strengths and weaknesses, as well as my job interest.
One of my strengths is my scientific and engineering mind. I have downplayed this area of expertise over the years partly because I was never given a proper function to excel in this area and also the opportunities are fewer with the emergence of India and China brainpower. Still, I still have the technical-knowhows and I should look for a job that a normal person have trouble comprehending the technical aspects of things.
One of the buzzwords of my worklife have been value and to a certain extent, I really believe in bringing value to people. I am thus not a good project manager in completing projects, but I think I would be a good requirement analyst who will listen and understand the problem.  Afterall, without understanding the problem, it will be hard to solve a problem and most people are lost in this first part of the game.
Another area of interest is negotiation, policticking (yeah baby!), and brokering “deals”. Carrying the listening to an extreme, it becomes a case of trying to read people’s mind and their logic models, and then to either do what they want or think of ways to alter their mindset. As such, much crazy as it is, IÂ quite often enjoy this aspect of corporate life.
My weaknesses has to be indecisiveness and some form of meritocracy driven superiority complex. As such, I cannot work for incompetent people and I cannot work in very time-sensitive operations where decision have to be made always at a split second.
So, there you have it.
