YOU ARE A

Consultant

Studying is an opportunity for you to develop into a professional. You have a strong interest in your studies and the knowledge and skills you can possibly gain for your future occupation. You have an analytical and theoretical mind, but are at your best when you can turn theory into practical plans, products, and innovations. What you learn during your studies you use for social issues. In the knowledge economy, for example, where you use your broad knowledge or, as a specialist, know everything about your field. Now your thorough approach comes into its own in practical study assignments, but also in the substantive committee of the study association.

Strength

Your analytical ability and practical approach make you ideal for applying knowledge. This is how you get complicated and challenging work done.

Pitfall

 You can do a lot, but sometimes lack the internal compass that guides your studies and work. Do you know which social issues make your heart beat faster? That will only strengthen your drive.

Professional perspective

Knowledge institution such as university or centre of excellence, consulting firm, research & development, change manager, trainer/coach.
