What am I good at?
- I am always positive, I don’t let negative people or situations affect me. I am a good leader, people respect my decisions and knowledge. I find it easy to work in a team, I’m very punctual and organized. I thrive when I am able to be creative and take the reigns on whatever project I’m working on.
What do I value?
- So if I was doing well in my company the thing I would value most is a pay raise. Positive recognition doesn’t do anything for me. I don’t like being the center of attention or being publicly awarded for anything. Monetary rewards/ recognition mean more to me.
How did I get here?
- I took a few detours to get to the path that I am on now. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do and who I wanted to be, but the first path I took just wasn’t me. The next path I took lead me to business and I have been on this path now for two years, and as I continue down it, I notice the path gets narrower. I think this is because this path is complementary to my goals.
Where am I going?
- The job I wish to pursue after graduation matches well with my values and allows me to use my strengths. Answering these questions was a nice clarification that I am still on the right path for me at this time. What I see when I look down the path is a career that will allow me to show/ use all my best qualities.

Hi Hannah, it was really great to read your answer to these questions. We are all unique and different in our own ways. I always enjoy learning about other people. I wish the best in finding the best career path for you!
Hi Hannah,
I really liked how you mentioned for the first question that you do not negative situations/people affect you. This is a very good trait to have specially in our transition from student life to working life, or the adult life. I wish you the best luck on your career path and that you get a job that allows you to use all qaulities.
Hannah,
You have a nice concise way of summing up this self-reflection. An I appreciate the honesty in what you value. There is nothing inherently wrong with valuing a pay raise. Especially as this can be symbolic of our own worth within the company.
