Ask HN: How do you self-assess?

3 pointsby toombowoombo11 months ago
Hi,<p>I recently applied to a job from a HN monthly post and I was told that the company is looking for more experienced people. That made me think about metrics for measuring experience. Which made me ask myself questions on self-assessment. I realised that I might lack the skill.<p>Therefore, I&#x27;m turning to the HN community to see how that goes here.<p>Note: I&#x27;m mostly referring to technical self-assessment, but I&#x27;m curious about self-assessment in other domains too (specifically in those that have a more fluid definition of &quot;quality&quot;).

technical - consult your peers. For the technical professions it is easy to find someone. Just think about the feedback, not assume it&#x27;s true.<p>for other domains it&#x27;s hard. especially social stuff
