Question

How do I work out what they are when I don't have any friends or family, and I've never had a job?

Community Answer

Only Method 1, Step 1 is dependent on the input of other people, and none of the steps require previous employment. You can still perform the rest of the steps to try and determine what your strengths are.

Believe in yourself and imagine the outcome. Picture what you want to get out of the job and make it happen.

Question

I know my strengths but don't know my weakness?

Strengths and weaknesses are opposites of each other. If you can say you are a go-getter (strength), it also means you are not lazy (weakness). If you prefer verbal communication (such as when dealing with customers), you might dislike writing reports. So list your strengths, then in a search engine type that strength's opposite.

Question

What if I still cannot find my strength? Am I doing anything wrong?

Everyone (even young kids) has strengths and weaknesses! Think about things you enjoy doing, especially when asked to do it. Often, you don't even need to be asked. Let's say you like putting together fashion outfits. But you are terrible at cleaning your room... you would rather pay attention to curtain fabrics, than deal with changing your bed. Or, your teacher showed the class how to use spreadsheets, and now you love putting data onto sheets. You'd rather do spreadsheets than talk about music with co-workers. Start with one side, and you'll find the other.
