Essay / My Personal Strengths and Weaknesses for a Career
Hello Class, It is essential when looking for a new job or career that you know what skills and qualities you possess. Knowing what you can and cannot do will change which employers and positions are right for you. Throughout my graduate studies at Full Sail University, I was able to overcome my weaknesses and develop other strengths beyond what I thought I could. Matching what you are good at and what you are not so good at can help you shape what your life path will be. As I delved deeper into my personal abilities, I discovered three strengths and three weaknesses that I have and I am working to eliminate or improve them. If you're not good at something, even a slight improvement can have a positive impact on your overall quality of life at work and at home. I have several qualities that I can bring to an employer's table. Among the many strengths, three skills particularly stand out when working in a team: empathetic, analytical and visionary. I have a great ability to understand and share the feelings of others, which is a great skill to have when working in a group. Knowing how other group members feel can help the team work better together and have fewer problems overall. When I work on a group project, I think very logically. Being analytical with my thoughts helps keep the reasoning and logic of what the project is trying to accomplish as a real possibility. My thought process is very grounded and I try to use all available knowledge to form the basis of all group projects. Although I use logic and knowledge to form all thoughts, I have a great visionary mind that is always thinking or planning. for the future. A good middle of paper......improve my strengths and improve my weaknesses by always being prepared for new technological developments and ensuring that I am constantly using my resources (connections, education and skills) to make me a ideal team member and someone an employer wants to be part of their team.
