Soft skills that I consider my strengths are respect,
friendliness, self-confidence, self-motivation, teamwork, empathy,
selflessness, listening, and questioning. I consider myself to be very
respectful as I believe respect is supposed to be given to everyone and
something that is needed universally. I am very friendly and wouldn't make
someone feel like they couldn't speak to me or couldn't ask for my help. I find
myself to be very self-confident and self-motivating because I know what
motivates me through good and bad times. I would be considered by my peers as a
good team player as I know the importance of teamwork, how to motivate others
and how important it is to have everyone happy in their role. I feel empathy is
a great soft skill to have and I am very caring about others and passionate
about being there for others. I would consider myself selfless because I think
about others and would put my stuff aside, to help someone in need or put my
agenda aside for the greater good. I have great listening skills as I can
listen to instructions or what someone is saying and respond accordingly to the
said conversation. I am also able to question well which is an underestimated
soft skill and can come in handy when you don't know something, or you just
want clarification. My soft skills that I consider my weaknesses or that I need
to work on are memory, prioritizing, and multi-tasking. I feel memory is
something I need to work on because sometimes you have a lot on your plate and
it's easy for anyone to forget something, but I strive to accomplish everything
I set out to. Prioritizing is something I consider my weakness because I tend
to work and not really think much about what needs to be done first and plan to
properly accomplish that. Multi-tasking is also something I need to work on
because when you have multiple things to accomplish, you may need to do certain
things all at once.
I will use my strengths to
further my career goals by motivating others and being a great team player,
listening and paying attention to detail, asking questions when need be, being
respectful, and keeping my actions as a reflection of my work ethic and
communication skills. I will improve upon my weaknesses by putting forth a
consistent effort and taking constructive criticism when need be as I know they
could in turn be a strength of mine or very key to helping me progress.
