What you have learned about yourself in class

From Commerce 299, the use of StrengthQuest was one of the most beneficial gains I received. It not necessarily told me stuff about me that were totally new, but it phrased my characteristics and strengths into words that I could use, especially when applying it to my resume, interviews, or just when analyzing what jobs/tasks would be suitable for me. I was very surprised to see how accurate the descriptions I got from StrenghsQuest was. For example, my top 5 strengths were competition, includer, woo, individualization and significance.

In addition to StrengthsQuest, I think I may have found a specifc industry in which I want to work for in the future: marketing/branding in the fashion related industry.
