How are you supposed to build a successful career in the healthcare profession where Mulit-disciplinary teams are the order of the day?
How do you cope when in pretty much every job values and assesses you based on the very things you struggle most with? How do you 'get by'? I know I'm never going to be something I'm not and neither do I want to be but I want to be able to function and be able to do my job.
How do you explain your difficulties to people if necessary?
Like, I know I have strengths; I am incredibly determined, hardworking, thorough, methodical, pragmatic, can be extremely focussed, have a very strong sense of morality.
I know too that I have qualities that depending on how you look at them or depending on the situation, can be strengths or weaknesses.
Of course the things apparently so highly valued by employers are communication skills and working well within a team :-/, things that of course are amongst my weaknesses.
