Week 9 – Self Reflection

What I am good at is being friendly as I enjoy spending time with friends. I think that this helps me work well in a team. I also have good time management skills that I used to ensure that my tasks are done on time and at an organized way.

What I value is mainly trust. Since I like to work as a team and spend time with friends, I think that trust is very important. Having trust among a team will ensure that everything goes smoothly. I also value flexibility whether in work or timing. I like to be able to have control of how to do my tasks so I can control my own schedule.

I am graduating this year, hard work and support from friends and family helped me get here. I am able to set a goal and work hard in order to achieve it. One of the goals is to graduate with a degree and I am close to achieving it. The support from my friends and family during the time I am in college helped me get through with all the challenges I faced.

As for where I am going, I am still unsure. I will try to figure it out based on all the decision and experiences I have gain throughout this whole time. I would thinking of choosing a career that can relate to value and knowledge that I have.

Week 5 – Typical vs. Maximal Performance

If I was the business owner, I might choose an employee like Avery. Having an employee that is a high-performance ceiling might make a lot a difference for the company. I think that Avery might be able to contribute more for the company and be more competitive. Employees such as Avery would be good in a high demanding position since the high-performance will be very critical.

The type of job that Avery will thrive would be the ones that might require a lot of creativity and decision makings. She might be fit to be a leader or in charge of a project that may face a lot of uncertainties. Avery will be more valuable than Jaime when the job has different and unique tasks. Avery would be able to carry out the task very efficiently. Although Avery might slack off, therefore it would be if Avery’s job is the one that will be competitively compensated. I think either sales or as a manager that requires important decisions would be the best role.

As for Jaime, the type of job that will be best suited are the ones that does not need much creativity, however consistency is important. The same type of jobs that are repeated daily such as a cashier or an assembly line worker. Jaime would be more valuable if the company needs someone that is reliable and will ensure that the task will be on time. These types of jobs that does not need the employees input are best for Jaime.
