Reflection: After hearing what other people had
to say about my strengths, it made me realize that I have developed qualities I
did not have before. When my friend called me outgoing I was really surprised
because before college I always felt like I was shy, especially in social
situations. Another thing I realized in these interviews is that other people
do not see the same weaknesses in my strength that I do. Independence could be
damaging to the workplace, but my friends and family did not note that my personality
was overly bearing in the independence aspect. I think my interviews were
accurate and I do not disagree with anyone’s assessment.

Five ways in which I think I have human capital:
- · Determination: When I set my mind to something, I have no breaks until I fully achieve that goal. This has allowed me to be able to study for hours on end and focus, yielding high results academically.
- · Leadership: I have a natural leading personality and have held several leadership roles in organizations. This gives me an attitude of formulating plans and running meetings without needing other leaders to take charge.
- · Independence: My whole life I have been a self-starter. I do things on my own and don’t ask for help with much. This is a great addition to human capital because it means that I do not require much attention or partnership.
- · Communication: If there was ever an over communicator, I would be it. I like to have memos, email, or text confirmation for meetings and prefer that there be an official communication for almost all transactions.
- · Professionalism: I always approach people in a respectful, mature manner and try form relationships that would be beneficial for the business field. This would be a great benefit to the human capital of a business.

I feel like this interview revealed people see
me as passionate and that I am emotional with my responses to situation. This
is good because it means I am personally invested in each outcome however,
could be bad as it means that I take situations personally.

In this interview my personability was
specifically highlighted. Madi met me when I was a shyer individual and has
seen the way I have grown to be more outgoing and willing to talk to people. I am proud of this because it is a strength I
did not originally have, but one that I developed out of necessity.

This interview highlighted my boyfriend’s
perspective about mainly my organizational tendencies. While I may be a bit OCD
it definitely correlates with the organization that I feel I could bring as a
valuable element to a workplace.

This
interview, being from my mom’s perspective is a bit more personal. She was
right on target with the self-starting aspect of my personality. This is something
I addressed in the independence aspect of my personality.

Jo is my
absolute best friend. We are together every minute of the day. Her note to my
organization and dedication to schoolwork is not a surprise as I mentioned it
in my 5 points of my human capital.
Hello Jordan,
ReplyDeleteIt was great reading about all the qualities that makes you special as a person. After reading your post and watching all the video clips from all the persons that gave more information about the things that makes you special I noticed that determination, leadership, independence, communication, and professionalism are not the only qualities that makes you stand out. I also noticed that they see you as very organized, passionate, and outgoing. Great job with your post!
Sincerely,
Javier Alfredo Felis Perez
Hey Jordan,
ReplyDeleteI think it's really cool to see how your friends and those close to you have identified traits that you never thought of yourself! It must be a good feeling seeing how far you've come as a young adult. I find that the qualities you listed were all very important and advantageous to have, which can only help you out in your future regarding your business endeavors. I found it quite entertaining how your boyfriend focused on your OCD tendencies. I've been in a similar situation with my ex-girlfriend and although it was a bit much, I was really happy at how everything around me was always clean and organized. Plus, that can only be a positive attribute when it comes to running your business! Great findings and I'm glad you were able to find out a little bit more about yourself.

Hey Jordan,
ReplyDeleteI think you did a really good job on this assignment because it seems as if you were able to assess every part about you. While you assessed yourself as a student and leader, your friends and family identified unique aspects of your personality. Something that I think that would make this assignment more interesting would be to talk with a stranger for five minutes and then see if they can identify something unique about you. In the business world, it is our first impressions that can go a long way in determining if we get a job/position. It is certainly something to think about.
