- I'm self-confident, this is true not only in the decisions I make, but also the relationships I maintain.
- I'm fairly silly (and may I say light-hearted). This is important because the mass populace wants someone who doesn't treat life (and work) like a job, but rather someone who treats it as it as a career where it develops the individual both professionally and socially.
- In a sentence: I mold to my environment. I know when to act professional and when to act comical. Many of my peers know me as the sarcastic, silly jokster, but that's only because they've only seen me in a relaxed social environment.
- I'm determined and passionate. When given a task I like to finish it as completely as possible; this means not just meeting the minimum requirement, but take the project well past my audience's expectations.
- I typically have an approachable personality, one that doesn't set a person off ease or make them uncomfortable.
2. My interviews:

Matt-

Lauren-

Kaylee-

Each of the interviewees said very similar opinions. Tom and Matt focused more on my drive and the professional aspect or my human capital, stating I was determined and have a great potential for success when I really put my mind to it. Jon and Kaylee stated similar things, but also alluded to my somewhat goofy and less professional, more social, nature.
3. Quite honestly, there weren't many differences between what I said about myself and what the interviewees said about me. When writing qualities about yourself, you really start to wonder how other people actually see you. I was pleased (and a tad surprised) to discover all the positive comments in the videos, as I can be quite the goof. I definitely think the interviews are correct about me, the people in my videos are among my closest friends and would know me the best. I don't think I'd change the list I made above, but rather I would take the comments from the videos that weren't mentioned and add them to the list.
I really enjoyed this assignment! I think it was my favorite one so far. I liked hearing what my loved ones really thought about me. I also enjoyed reading about other people's unique qualities. I was surprised that most of my family stated things that I had already listed about myself. I thought this was really cool. I would suggest next time to actually embed the video! It makes it a lot easier for readers. I would also like to know the relationship between the people you interviewed! Check out my post: http://rachelquispe.blogspot.com/2016/03/my-secret-sauce.html
ReplyDeleteInitially, I thought this assignment was going to be really awkward. It seemed weird asking, "hey, can you tell the camera what you think about me?" But then it actually ended up being really refreshing! This assignment was one of my favorites in the end. I reacted the same way after my interviews when they aligned with what I had written about myself. As hard as it can be to write about yourself sometimes, I think it is important for everyone to know themselves and what they're good at!
