My Secret Sauce

1.     The first and biggest way I believe I have human capital is that I am very good at multitasking.  I have ADHD, which most people consider a disadvantage when it comes to academics.  However, having this allows me to focus on me different things at once.  For example, I am doing web assign while writing this assignment. 

2.     Another thing that makes me unique is my sleep schedule.  A typical day for me starts at 7am-8am, and ends anywhere from 2 am to 5 am. In order to do this, I will take a few short naps throughout the day if needed. I always want to be doing something, and being awake extra time allows me to get my academics done while still maintaining friendships and focusing on my personal passions.

3.     The third thing I believe makes me unique is that I have a photographic memory.  This helps me learn a lot of stuff in a short amount of time, but I have to learn things through watching them be performed as opposed to listening or reading instructions on how to complete a certain task. 

4.     Something else that separates me from most people is my organization. To most, I appear disorganized.  In reality, I appear disorganized but through all the disorganization in my room and backpack, I know where all my stuff is, I just have a different way of keeping track of my things than most people.

5.     The last thing that makes me unique is my personality.  My personality allows me to make friends quickly with people and maintain good relationships with the majority of people I meet.  I make a strong effort to keep good connections with people I meet and know, and believe this networking skill could benefit me in the future.

What I got out of my first interview is that I am a pretty outgoing person and a hardworking individual.  This goes along with my last point I wrote about myself, and made me realize that I am more hard working than I thought.

My second interview showed me that I am more organized than I thought.  This is a great confidence boost knowing I am not as messy as I previously thought I was.

My third interview showed me that I am helpful and always there for others.  I did not realize this about myself at all until it was told to me during this interview.

The fourth interview also made me realize that others see me as hardworking and always on top of my work.  I previously was under the impression people thought that I was lazy and not hard working.

The final interview I did made me realize that I have leveled out personality, which most people see as a good trait.  I am glad that I have this and think it can take me along way in the future.

My reflection from this is that people see me a little more positively than I previously saw myself, but also that a lot of the things I said about myself are accurate.  I don’t think I would really change anything after the interviews, but would probably add more things like hardworking, and that I am level headed.
