Daisy Tran MGMT 448 Job Hunt Experience

The most important thing I’ve learned from this class was negotiation and closing. The 5 F’s (Fit, Family, Fun, Freedom, Fortune) help the employer present the position to the candidates and help them figure out if the position. Before we get the job, we have to research it and know what we are getting into… Continue reading Most Important Thing You’ve Learned

What am I good at? I am consistent because I make sure my actions match my words. I’m good at time-management because I utilize the time I have to get as much work done as possible.

I scored 69 on Extraversion; 92 on Agreeableness; 85 on Conscientiousness; 43 on Neuroticism; and 49 on Openness to Experience.
