1. What am I good at?
Some things that I consider myself good at include working collaboratively with other, and being able to train others. I gained this with my 5 years of working in customer service. At my job at Baskin Robbins, I had to train all of the new employees, and found that I was very good at interating and getting along with other employees. Furthermore, I think that I am good at communicating with those that I do not know in a professional manner. I have had to work with and help may clients through my accounting internship, and had to communicate professionally with clients and tax managers in order to do my job. I also feel that I am good at task management. I am very timely, and when I set goals for myself, I do everything I can to achieve these goals, even if sometimes it means overworking myself.
2. What do I value?
In my personal and professional life, I value respect and honestly. I do not respond well if I do not feel that I am being respected. I also make sure I respect others when I am working with them or communicating with them. I also value honestly. I grew up in a family that valued honestly, and I try to incorporate honesty in everything that I do. If I do not think someone is being honest, I find it really hard to trust them or work with them.
3. How did I get here?
This is a relatively hard questions for me to answer. I faced a lot of struggles growing up, both financiallty and mentally. With that being said, I always tried to find the motivation to keep trying to meet my goals. I made a goal to go to college, and even though my family told me I was crazy because my father did not go to college, I succeeded at this goal, and am graduating soon. I think my determination got me to where I was in life.
4. Where am I going?
In the future, I want to pass my CPA exams and get my CPA license. Furthermore, I want to have a family and own a home. These are my three main goals in life. I believe that my career goal of working as a tax accountant at a public CPA firm will help me meet these goals.
