Reinventing yourself?

From The Wall Street Journal - Careers (http://bit.ly/jpAXw)
"When it comes to career reinvention, too many people make a fundamental mistake: They don't know themselves."

"So when I talk to people about making a career change, I always suggest first doing a few self-assessment exercises. Career self-assessment is the process of getting acquainted with what you like -- and don't like -- in a work environment."

"You can do this by simply making a list of your skills and interests, and asking yourself questions such as "What type of work would make me sit in traffic for hours just for the privilege of showing up?" and "What energizes me at work?" Increasingly, though, career changers are drawing guidance from more sophisticated tests."
