MY STRENGTHS
Good Ideas
- I feel I can come up with decent, manageable and creative ideas with good speed and relative ease. Usually, by the time a briefing ends, I already know what I'm going to do in my head. That's not to say I only have one and go with it, on the contrary, but at least I have SOMETHING to go on, where I realise alot of other people struggle. I think in the real world, this would prove a vital asset, particularly with short turnarounds in projects, where time is of the essence.
Great Group Member/Team Leader
- I think I've got a pretty good personality and sense of humour, both vital when dealing with the public and clients. As part of a team I always put in more than my fair share of work and as a leader I'm really good at running a group and making sure the right tasks can be allocated to the most effective people. I think this would translate well into working as part of a team with a company for example.
Really Dedicated
- Whatever the task, I will not stop until it has been completed to a high standard. I've put in all nighters before on projects, and I don't mean when it's the night before and I haven't done it yet. I mean I love what I do and can literally lose myself in my work sometimes, getting quite obsessed at times. Obviously, if this was an actual real world project, that would mean it would get done with the utmost speed and efficiency.
Perfectionist
- I tend to set a high level for myself, and am not satisfied until it is reached. It might take a little longer to get there, but the results always justify the extra time and effort made.
Passionate
- I love the field I'm heading for, and the more I see the more I wish to create myself. I think success in any industry is governed by the love you have for it going in, and unless you really enjoy doing something, you won't get as far as you might like.
MY WEAKNESSES
Lacking Skills
- Just looking at many of the job positions out there, it's clear I don't have anywhere near enough skill or experience to even think about getting the jobs. This is something I'd like to build, and something that will no doubt come with the rest of my degree. Ideally, I'd like to be well versed in every aspect, program, or technical field that might play into my intended career path.
Bit of a lone wolf sometimes
- Sometimes, I tend to stick to myself more than I really should. Like do alot of work by myself instead of with others. It's good in that I can work well alone, but bad in the sense that it's taking too much comfort in working in a bubble.
Lack Motivation
- Sometimes, be it through self doubt or general laziness, I lack the motivation to do what I know I should, at the level it should be done. All too many things prove somewhat of a distraction, and as a result I don't fully commit to the task in hand as soon or as deep as I should. I have a bad tendency of leaving vital things to the last minute, becoming over confident in my ability to get things done in a shorter time frame.
Self Doubt
- My Achilles heal. I'm all too quick sometimes to knock myself down when I really should start believing in myself and my ability. It's not always about being the best, it's just about doing what you enjoy and doing it as well as you can. But it also stops me taking my ideas out of the box and onto a bigger scale, as I think the world just doesn't want to hear it. Getting deep now, and unlike a shrink you don't get paid to listen to me moan, haha, so I'll wrap it up and start thinking about my plan of action, what needs to be done!
