What I have learned about myself in class Comm 299
Apr 5th, 2011 by Tsz Wai Jenny Ng
In Comm 299, I have done a personality test called Strength Quest. After answering many situational or personality questions, this test shows that my top five strengths are: achiever, deliberative, discipline, harmony, and relator. I quite agree with the results of my test. I gain satisfaction from being productive. I also think carefully before making any decisions. I cherish all relationships that have been established. I do not like conflict and I like routine work. After knowing that these are my strengths, I will build on them and know learn how to apply them in the business world in order to be successful.
One of the assignments in Comm 299 is a mock interview with TAs or Professors. Before the interview assessment, I have taken advantage of the career coaching appointed offered by Sauder to practice and learn how to conduct an interview. In the practice interview, I have realized that I get nervous very easily which reflects on my gesture and the way of answering questions. After that, I learned how to control myself and stay calm during interview. At the end, I performed better in the assessment than the practiced one. Thank you so much Sauder for offering such good service in order to prepare us for interview, resume, cover letter and etc.
