Jobs that expose your weaknesses are bad. In fact, they are very bad. You should avoid them. Don’t get roped into them. Don’t get conned into the idea that they are good for your development. Don’t let yourself get caught in the misguided practice of focusing on your weaknesses to make you a better…whatever your profession might be.
Instead, marginalized your weaknesses and pump up those strengths. Focus on finding a way out of that cul-de-sac in your career. Identifying and understanding your weaknesses are fundamental to super powering your performance, but jobs that seem to rely on your weaknesses are sure to drive bring you down in so many ways. Not seeking to find your way out of that energy-draining assignment is foolhardy.
There is no shame in admitting that an assignment isn’t the right one for you. You shouldn’t have to sell your employer on the idea that your contributions will be most exceptional in a role that capitalizes on your strengths.
Jobs that expose your weaknesses suck.
