Blog Post: Sell yourself with 3 words!

Sum up yourself and your skills in three words.  
                                                                           
This strategy can be very useful in preparing yourself for upcoming job interviews. Colin Beveridge, a UK management adviser suggests that doing so can be a powerful exercise in critical self-evaluation.

Beveridge suggests that before heading into a job interview, you should take the necessary time and come up with a short three word description of what exactly it is that you do in your work life.

So perhaps we should substitute a new interview question: please describe what you do in three words… .....incredibly valuable for the reflective insights and communicative skills that a properly considered answer will reveal.

Here are some examples of good 3 word self evaluations.
