This is a rather difficult topic to blog about because many times, you just absorb and do not realize what you have learned even though you have grown a lot. If I had to pick one important thing I have learned, it would be resume writing. In resume writing, I was able to break down the different things I did for volunteering organizations. I realize that the things I did actually had a lot more results and impact than what I originally thought. It brings great satisfaction to be able to see everything I have achieved.
After some thought, I suddenly had an epiphany. I actually learned a great deal about myself through Strengths Quest. I was able to identify my five strengths – Achiever, Competition, Significance, Focus, Strategic. It helped me a lot because I am able to apply it in resumes, cover letters, and most importantly, interviews. With applicable examples, it gives me more depth to work with. It is definitely one of the most important things I have learned about myself in all my classes this term.
