What you have learned about yourself in class

I feel very grateful to be given the opportunity to attend a class such as Comm 299 which is not offered in most other Business schools. This class is very beneficial as it guides university students through the process of getting a career. Through Comm 299, I have learned a lot about myself and have achieved personal growth as well. I was introduced to Strengthsquest which helped me learn and understand further about my personal strengths that includes Developer, Empathy, Achiever, Adaptability and Positivity. The classes and assignments only made me realize how true these strengths are for me and now I know which areas of my skills and personality that I need to focus and further enhance on as well as which areas that needs improvement. I have gained a lot of insight into the process of getting a job, from preparing resumes and cover letters to how to present oneself during an interview. Besides my strengths, I have also learned about my weaknesses, for example not showing enough enthusiasm during the interview. It is important for me to learn more about my weaknesses as it motivates me to want to work harder and improve myself so that I can present myself better in the future.
