One can identify their strengths and weaknesses when starting a new job by self-reflection and seeking feedback. Self-reflection involves analyzing your past experiences, understanding what you did well and where you struggled. Seeking feedback from colleagues, mentors, and supervisors can also provide valuable insights. Additionally, observing how you react to different situations at your new job can help identify areas of strength and weakness. It's also important to understand that strengths and weaknesses can be context-dependent and may change based on the job role.

Question was asked on:

It's important to remember that what may seem like strengths can sometimes be interpreted as weaknesses in a new role. While having attention to detail may have been a strength in a prior role, it could be seen as micro-management and lead to resentment. Once strengths and weaknesses are identified, and their impact is understood, it's time to create a strategy for filling in any gaps in skills and fine-tuning current skills.
