As part of the assessment, you should also receive a list of areas that you may need to improve upon. I suggest that you take a very close look at this list, because these are the characteristics that can trip you up in your career. We all have areas that we need to work on; I don't know one successful person who hasn't had to work to overcome deficits. If you don't start working to improve them now, they can come back to haunt you later. I know a woman who didn't pay attention to detail and neglected to document the work she had done. She did fine in her career for over a decade, but eventually received a promotion to a position in which she had to submit regular reports on her progress. She was incapable of doing this because it just wasn't in her nature to be organized and she didn't recognize that this was an area of improvement for her. She was eventually let go from her job. It's far better to know what your weaknesses are now, and start working to improve them, than to face the consequences later in life.
