So tell me about yourself...



How do you plan on self-promoting yourself?

 

I plan to self-promote myself in a positive way through my website. I want to showcase pieces of work I have completed and show my strengths.

 

Name three goals you have between now and graduation.

 

1.)  I would like to successfully complete an internship in my desired field.

2.)  I would like to add more work to my portfolio.

3.)  I would like to take more classes that aren’t in my field but that I am interested in.

 

What employment goals do you have after graduation?  Name three of them.

 

1.)  I would like complete multiple internships within the communication field.

2.)  I would like to get a job in advertising to see what that’s like.

3.)  I would like to get a job where I am able to travel and see the world.

 

Name three best case scenario jobs you would like to have and why.

 

1.)  Event Planner- This was my first major choice when coming to Buffalo State College. I am a very organized person and I have a lot of patience.

2.)  2.) Marketing director for the Buffalo Bills- I would love the opportunity to work for a NFL team to gain experience in the sports field.

3.)  Advertising company- I am very interested in how the advertising business works and I believe I would learn a great deal from a job such as this.

 

Do you prefer to work professionally with a group or on your own and why?

I prefer to work in a group because I work well with others. It is easier for me to bounce ideas off of other people before sharing them with a boss or higher up. I work well in teams and think more things get done when more people are involved.

 

What contributions can you make to a group dynamic?  Name three things.

 

1.)  I get along with others well

2.)  I am a great listener

3.)  I can give positive feedback

 

What contributions can you make working independently?  Name three things.

 

1.)  I can concentrate better and be more efficient with my work.

2.)  I can have one strong idea and run with it.

3.)  I can also take the credit for the ideas I come up with.

 

What are your pet peeves in a work environment?

My pet peeves in a work environment are laziness and people not being on time. I am always 15 minutes early for everything I do. I think it is very important, especially in a professional environment to be on time or early.

 

Name three things you feel passionate about professionally - this could be school related, current job related, group or organizationally related - and outline why you feel passionate towards them.

1.)  I feel passionate about my current job. Even though it is a hair salon I want every customer to have a great/positive experience. I care about how they feel when they leave.

2.)  I feel passionate about my grades and the classes I am in currently. I am always striving to do my best in school. I want to graduate on time and that means passing and completing the remaining classes.

3.)  I am also passionate about cancer awareness. Several people in my family have battled cancer and it is a cause I feel strongly about. Whether this be supporting breast cancer with walks and such or donating to them to support cancer research.

 

How do you handle stress and pressure?

I handle stress and pressure with stepping back from the situation and taking a deep breath. It is very important to not let my emotions get the best of me and to handle everything with calmness.

 

Name the last three jobs you had, and the best success and the worst failure you experienced at each of these jobs.

1.)  On the Fringe of Euphoria salon- Best success- Always being on time and helping customers change their day around or feel better about them. Worst failure- Having customers leave unhappy with themselves or image.

2.)  Victoria’s Secret sales associate- Best success- Helping customers find what they were looking for and making their day.  Worst failure- Having customers leave with nothing or being unhappy with their experience.

3.)  Embassy Suites Hotel (Hostess) Best Success- Having customers come up and tell me how great their experience was. Worst failure- Having dissatisfied customers

 

 How do you handle criticism?

Outline three strengths you have in school.

I believe I handle criticism well.

1.)  I have pretty good attendance

2.)  I take notes and listen well

3.)  I speak up when I have a question and participate in group discussions

 

Outline three strengths you have in your workplace.

1.)  I am always on time

2.)  If someone asks me to do something(boss) I do it right away

3.)  If someone needs me to stay late or work for them I will always do it
