Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique.
- I am able to think big and outside the box when it comes to problem solving.
- I am very caring of others even to those I do not know that well or have just met.
- I am able to take control of a situation or group and lead others in a group setting.
- I am very diligent and careful during projects and pay attention to details.
- I am able to work well with many other types of personalities and get along with others easily.
2) Interview the five people who know you the best.
This interview was with my friend and roommate Cory. I really appreciated what he said about me and I believe everything he said about me was correct.
This interview was with my good friend Hannah. I think she was correct in saying that I like to have a good time and am not too serious. I hope I come off as a good guy to others as well.
This is my friend and roommate Ramon. He talked about the first time meeting me and his first impression of me. I am glad I left a good first impression.
This is my other friend Lauren. She did not want to be shown on camera. She said I was supportive and was willing to lend a helping hand.
This is my other roommate and friend Devin. He talked about how I am dedicated and am a hard worker because I work a lot. The interview was brief but I think he mentioned a few good characteristics.
3) Reflect on the differences.
After conducting the interviews with my close friends, I can say that what they said about me was accurate and that they see me in a way that I would like for them to see me. Assessing myself, I would say I am everything my friends said I am however I also believe I can be very harsh sometimes on myself, but that does not show when I am with others. I would not make any corrections to my list in part one, and I stand by any characteristics I listed there.
Hey Thomas,
ReplyDeleteI think that’s awesome that you were able to collect five of your close friend and get some insight to what a few of your best qualities are. I love the fact that you are able to think outside the box and be able to have empathy with those people you are new to meet. Unfortunately, I did not have time to complete the assignment myself but I’m glad to hear you have good friends in your life to give you positive reinforcement.
Thomas, I watched each of these videos with a big smile on my face. It sounds to me like you not only have a number of personality traits and "social capital" that will lead to success in your career path and life, but you also have a large group of friends that care deeply for you and have a positive outlook on the relationship they have with you. I think that out of all features, the most important are a hardworking attitude and being personable. It seems like you have both. Keep up the good work!
