My Career Portfolio
My Strengths
An important strength of mine is motivation. My passion for my career path pushes me to work hard in every opportunity I'm given and task I am faced with. I find the benefits in every situation and use it to grow while becoming a person people can count on. I have never showed up late for work and always put maximum effort into my work because everything I am doing is stepping stone towards a career I am extremely passionate for.
Another strength of mine is communication. I believe communicating with the people around you is essential for a successful relationship and business. An example of this is when I worked with someone who was very aggressive and hostile towards me. Instead of complaining and responding with anger, I was able to explain to her everything I was doing, my intentions, and how I would appreciate being spoken to. She expressed her issues which were easily resolved and I felt significantly more respected and this allowed us to become civil and work better as a team in the long-run.
Another strength of mine is problem solving. I find joy in taking a leadership role when issues arise. An example of this was working in a kitchen. I walked into work and the main cook and prep didn't show up. After having no luck in getting any replacement staff members, I took on the role of three staff members, cooked, and served breakfast and lunch for 80 residents in a nursing home. I ensured their mechanically altered diets were followed correctly.
