A.)
1.) Determination: I'm very determined to accomplish any task given to me, big or small. I don't think I've ever seen anyone put so much hard work into such arbitrary and irrelevant (or relevant and necessary) tasks.
2.) Quick Learner: I find myself to be an incredibly fast learner with almost anything I do, especially new jobs. In newest job, I only needed three days of training whereas everyone else generally gets five. I think I learn so fast because of my motivation and drive to be the best I can be.
3.) Caring: I think I care about people (whether I know them or not) probably a little too much. I go to great lengths to cheer someone up or make their day even if I've only known them for 5 minutes. I see it as a plus because it will come in handy when it comes to customer service.
4.) Correcting Processes: I'm good at finding flaws in existing processes and making changes to make them more efficient. I have saved my bosses and coworkers a lot of time by making their duties faster and efficient.
5.) Quick Witted: I'm good at coming up with snappy comebacks very quickly. I feel like it's a skill that not many people have and I'm proud of it, it's usually pretty funny.

This interview is with my best friend and he just talked about how good of a friend and person he thinks I am overall.
C.) For the most part, I think my self-analysis lines up with the interviews from my friends/associates. I know Josh and I both stated that I really care about the people around me but I don't really think I'm as much of a people person as everyone else thinks I am. I can be when I want to be, but for the most part I only find myself talking to the people I already know. None of them mentioned my skill for correcting processes but I think that's because none of my friends really get to see me work. Other than that, I think they are all pretty spot on with how they perceive me.
Hey Kristen! This sounds so amazing. I can certainly relate to how you are caring, determined and great in correcting processes. I am usually able to see the flaws I have and self-correct myself. I believe if someone does not correct myself, someone will and I will never grow to be the best version of me. I also feel like being caring is a quality all people should have. Even when it coems to being a classmate, peers should care for each other.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI like that you wrote that you are "Quick Witted", that can be advantageous when you are in a debate. I wish i had that ability as developed as you, normally i just end up saying senseless things so I confuse them. About the caring part, you are saying you are not a people person, but you try to make a stranger feel better. That shows that you might not feel like a people person but you might be one.
Key Kristen,
ReplyDeleteI love your aspect that you described yourself as “correcting processes”. That is super valuable to many employers, especially relating to efficiency in operational management. I am glad your views line up with how others view you. It is important to know you who you are and are able to properly display it to the world. I love how you got an array of different people to interview you from your boss to close friends. Great job!
