Career Assets (3.3)

Career Assets

1. Relate to people in a friendly, accepting manner. ( I always try to treat people the way I would like to be treated. When it comes to school or work I always try to create pleasant environment. Throughout my work experience there were several situation during which new employees were introduce to the old staff and on my part I always acted in accepting manner, because I know too well how it is to start a new job.)
2. Work comfortably and effectively with people in authority over me. (Throughout the year's I've never really experience any serious conflict's at work with people in authority over me. From my point of view and based on my own experience if you do all the work right without taking any shortcuts there is no reason to be stressed or worry.
3. Cooperate with my coworkers. (To me cooperation at work it's obvious, after all in these day's its a part of the job. In my place of work I find not only healthy when it comes to chemistry but useful as well due to sharing ideas or helping each others during and after work)
4. Show respect for all people regardless of background, culture, ethnicity, religion, age, gender, disability or lifestyle. (I don't really have any issues when it comes to respecting other people no matter who they are, where they came from or what their skin color is.  Throughout the years spend in high school, college or at work I was never in a kind of a situation where background, ethnicity, religion, disability or gender was consider a problem.)
5. Pay attention to the ideas, opinions, and questions of others. (I really find this skill useful not only during a school time but in a real life situations as well. Good listening skills combined with willingness to accept other people suggestions or advices are always welcome. Throughout my life there were at least several situations during which good ideas, advices and right questions helped me to reshape my point of view when it comes to different topics.
6. Express myself well in one-on-one conversation. (During a one-on-one conversations I always try to be myself whether its a job interview or a chat with my pals. My objective when it comes to conversation is to express myself as clear as possible and avoid being seen as a person that is distorted between his own thoughts, left in a kind of a chaos.)
7. Prepare and deliver effective presentations in front of a group. (When assign a project I generally do my best to dig as deep as possible into a certain topic in order to gather as many concrete informations as possible. Thoroughly done research enables me to put the most accurate stuff on a slide/paper in order to deliver a presentation that will enhance attention and stay in the audience memory for a while.
8. Respond cooly to emergency or crisis situations. (It has been said that emotions cloud the judgment and are generally consider to be the worst possible advisor. Several months ago I found myself in a situation were I was obligated to deal with the emergency under stress. The event was about my mothers health and I couldn't really afford to make any mistakes or allow the emotion's to take over the situation.
9. Manage my time well. (Managing time efficiently is absolutely vital whether it comes to career or a life in general. After all the years I can honestly say that I finally learned how to do it in order to get the job done without making any shortcuts and still have some time left to enjoy the hobbies. The thing is to do the stuff that requires much of a time (like research projects) right away without postponing or waiting till the deadline comes.
10. Act responsibly;get the job done. (At the age of twenty three I can't really run from responsibility or do a lousy job because that would be both immature and childish. Being responsible and getting the job done is the bare minimum that is required in these days by the employers. Its not to say that I am perfect ,always dead serious, focused 100% all the time sort of like an android, but once I am assign to do a job whether in school or at work I'll do my part responsibly and all the way to the end.
