“Please complete a one page personal statement and submit it with your application. “ How would you describe yourself as a human being? What quality do you like best in yourself and what do you like least? What would you most like to see flourish and which would you like to see wither?”

Describe myself? I always think of this as an open question. There are so many different angles that this response can be written from. This statement is almost hard to answer. I would describe myself as an orange. There are many different connotations of orange; warm, energetic, happy, fun, cheerful, and alive and the list can go on. The qualities of the word orange are how I perceive myself. I think of myself as caring, thoughtful, gentle as well as outgoing, confident and hard working person. I am an optimistic person, always the one with the glass hall full and not half empty. Being optimistic, I always know that there are choices in life and sometimes everything doesn't work out.

The best quality I enjoy about myself is my passion and I have it with anything I put my mind to. In dancing I go above and beyond. It's almost like I'm a different person when I perform; I transform into my alter ego. I must be the best dancer on the team, or the one who comes up with all the dance moves. Dance has been a part of me since I can remember. This quality about me will never change or alter in anyway shape or form.
The Only quality about me that I can say I would honestly would change is my short attention span. When something becomes Old, boring or I just don't enjoy doing it anymore I do not want to continue. I like this least in myself because I feel you should always finish what you start.
Something that I would Love to see flourish is my passion for dance and singing. I want to be world known for these talents of mine because they are a gift. I want to perfect them and learn everything I need to know to better myself as time goes on.
Last but not Least my procrastination is

    Another skill that can be altered is my ability to work in groups if needed. I am a self starter and prefer to work alone on projects but I am more than capable of working with others on big projects.

    The Way We See Me

    • 720 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The way I see myself definitely varies from one degree to another. For instance, I am not at all tactful as I am imaginative. This is another reason why I perceive myself as being slightly quiet. I chose these answers because I know that I like to think a lot to myself and am more observant of others around me than I am of myself. Since I am rather quiet, I haven’t really practiced my communication skills as much as I’d like and thus why I am not very tactful. On a more positive note, I do see myself as extremely imaginative and friendly. I chose to rank myself high on these two because I always try to treat others the way I would want to be treated and was always told that I was extremely curious, imaginative, and artistic as a child. I believe I still am.…

    Toms Shoes

    • 837 Words
    • 4 Pages

    For my business speech I chose to talk about an organization called Toms Shoes. I think that I made good choice because they are sold in both men’s and women’s and can appeal to any age. The organization helps out people in need unlike majority of companies that we buy from. When coming into class the following week after I had given my speech a fellow classmate (Faigy) told me that she was out and noticed someone with a pair of toms on and approached them telling them that she knew what they were and actually asked them if they knew what the purpose behind them was. So after hearing this I think the audience’s response to my product was positive considering they took what they learned about the organization and talked about it outside of class. The requirement on the speech length was 4 – 5 minutes long; unfortunately mine was only 3:30 seconds long. When listening to myself I noticed that I have a tendency of talking very fast when I’m nervous or in front of a crowd. When reading of my note cards I did write side notes saying to stop and breathe and to smile and look around but the amount of nerves I had I skipped right over my side notes and just continued to talk. Now I know that when I write notes on my note cards to read them because taking a breath and slowing down extends the time of my speech. When transitioning from one paragraph to another I made sure that it wouldn’t just sound chopped up, I made sure that it was relative enough to the previous information so that I wasn’t just throwing sentences around.…

    THE PURPOSE OF A PERSONAL STATEMENT Many application processes include a requirement to state why you believe that you are suitable for the job or course in question. This section of the application form is often referred to as a ‘personal statement’. It is your opportunity to convince the reader that you are interested in the position and that you have all the necessary skills and aptitudes to be successful in the role. WHAT SHOULD A PERSONAL STATEMENT COVER? The requirements for what you include in your personal statement can be very specific or quite general, for example: Specific: ‘Please use the space below to indicate why you feel that you are suitable for this post, including details of relevant experience and evidence of your ability to meet the selection criteria.’ General: ‘Please provide any additional information in support of your application in the space below. Continue on additional sheets if necessary.’ Whether you have been asked to address specific points in your statement or to write more generally, the underlying principle of a personal statement remains the same: to demonstrate that you have the right skills, knowledge and attitude to meet the requirements of the role. WHAT DO RECRUITERS LOOK FOR IN A PERSONAL STATEMENT? A good indication of what an employer is looking for in a personal statement is what they have identified as the key requirements of the role and the type of skills and experiences that are important. These are often identified in the ‘person specification’ for the job, which is a comprehensive list of all the criteria against which candidates will be measured.…
