My Brand:
The first impression that I want to present to potential employers is a sense of enthusiasm and critical thinking. Most, if not all, interviews come with a self-introduction first and at that time I usually present confident eye contacts to the interviewer. In order to show the great desire that I want to get this job, I usually will do a lot of background research with this company and then I will present it in the self-introduction to link it with why I want to work in here. My personality strengths is critical thinking so I will show it by presenting my previous working experience and how I used these skills in there.

Andrea,
I liked your post. It gave good information about the skills you have. Being creative and thinking critically are very good skills that employers look for. However, I think it would be best to give an example of how you are creative and how you were faced with a problem and helped fixed it with your creativity or critical thinking.
