First, what makes me unique is my personality. I have a strong personality towards caring
for others. My mind is always looking
for new ideas and this is a positive characteristic of entrepreneurs.
Second, I have calm emotions when placed in stressful
situations.
Third, I have a skill for staying organized. I have filing cabinets for all my school
papers and keep everything in its own space where I can find it.
Fourth, I have knowledge abilities in aviation which makes
me stand out from most other business majors.
Fifth, I have good abilities in professional communication
skills. What make me different from
other people is I like public speaking.
The people I interviewed were people who know me best
including friends and family. They
stated a variety of different aspects that make me unique. Two of the interviews focused a lot on
personality. They claim I can get along
with people well. Two of the interviews
say my skills are what makes me stand out.
Some of the people said my hair makes me stand out yet this is not
really considered human capital.
Overall, I got many different answers relating to personality,
interactions, and skills.
I didn’t realize one point that someone claimed I am good
interacting with animals. I didn’t see
this as a characteristic that makes me stand out. Overall, the interviews and my own view of
myself were similar. The animal
relationship skill is the only change I would make to the list. These differences are caused because nobody
see themselves as other people do. To
get the full picture, we must talk to others.
Below I have included audio recording of short segments from
my interviews. The individuals I
interviewed requested not to have more than a couple lines posted for privacy. Therefore, the interviews were longer than what
is recorded, and the recordings are only segments from my interviews.
Hey Adam! Looks like the responses you got lined up with what you already knew about yourself. For my secret sauce I also asked people to name one weakness I possess and how I could improve on it. In the end I realized new things I that I didn't know before.
ReplyDeleteAdam,
ReplyDeleteIt makes sense that people would say you get along well with others and are good with interacting with animals because your idea is to help others concerning a safety issue. Have you thought about entrepreneurship in aviation? Also, that’s good that you like public speaking. I think it’s a useful skill in any field, but it takes practice for those of us that are shy. I would say I’m mostly calm in stressful situations too at work. It’s definitely an advantage for us because we can think rationally before making any decisions.
Adam,
ReplyDeleteIt is always good to hear how your closest peers have to say about you. It is also always good when people characterize you the way you see yourself. I liked the aspect where you asked them to name one weakness about yourself. That was very outside of the box and useful to help improve on it. Great Job!
