Do you find networking exhausting or exhilarating? Do interviews make you nervous or do you just go in and "wing it"? Do you feel that writing about your accomplishments on a resume makes you boastful, or do you just lack the patience to sit down and write a resume? Your tendencies may be tied to how much of an introvert or extrovert you are. Both styles possess their own strengths and challenges.
