16A- What's Your Secret Sauce?

My Human Capital:

1. I think I have very good people skills. I have worked in the service industry (in restaurants) since I was old enough to work. Working in this industry taught me to not only know how to speak and interact with people, the more they like you the better they tip, but also how handle bad situations in a way that they can still leave satisfied. My managers often applauded me on how I handled certain situations with customers when they were not happy.

2. I am generally a very positive person. I tend to look at problems that come up in a more positive light, and figure out how to solve them and move on, rather than dwell on the negatives.

3. I think I am also a very strong willed person. I am definitely someone that doesn't take no as an answer and will do whatever it takes to get where I want. Maybe this could be seen as a negative for some, but to me it is a positive attribute I give to myself because I know that I will not settle for things that aren't right or fair.

4. I really enjoy learning, so because of that I feel like I am pretty smart. If I don't know about something I do like to actually go and learn it. I have always actually enjoyed school, but also learning outside of it as well. I would say I'm very eager to learn and willing to try new things

5. I started and ran my own non-profit, maintained a 4.0 GPA, and worked 40 hours a week, while prepping for a physique competition, so I'm not sure if this is to say that I'm good at multitasking or what, but it's definitely something I take a lot of pride on being able to successfully do all of these things.

Reflection: 
I think me and the people I interviewed said a lot of the same things. There was a lot of mention about how I like to learn, and my organizational skills. I think the only real difference was I didn't really mention being fun/funny. I did mention being positive, which I think was a similar way for me to say that. The people that I interviewed all also had something to say about me being a hard worker. I feel like I did a pretty good job describing myself and my skills, and had pretty similar qualities listed as all the people that interviewed me.
