have a weird problem. I'm in my late 20s and i'm a jack of all trades, master of none. i've had 4 different jobs since college (admin, marketing, customer support, light-ops). i'm good at... being competent. if you give me a task, I will learn how to do it. I'll get it done. I'll get decent reviews. But I don't think I'm great at any of it. I'm not passionate about any of it. I'm just... doing tasks. I'm busy all day but I don't feel fulfilled. I'm now looking for my next job and I have no idea what to even look for. I feel like I have no real skills. Just a collection of random software I learned and processes I followed.
I want to learn how to identify my innate strengths. The things I do easily that other people find hard. The stuff that gives me energy, instead of draining it. I'm tired of just being competent. I want to find a path where I can be exceptional but I'm worried that path doesn't exist for me.
I'm afraid I'm just... average.
How do you separate the skills you were forced to learn for a paycheck from the talents you actually have? Where do I even start?
