What's Your Secret Sauce? (ENT3003 Assignment 16A)

1. Five things that make me unique are my:
• Adaptability - I am able to be put in any type of environment and excel, thanks in big part to my time in the Marine Corps.
• Ambition - Coming from a tough background and neighborhood, I've only used that to further push myself and never settle for less because I came from less and I know what it looks like.
• Persistence - I am determined to finish every single I start and/or set my mind to and will not give up easily, if at all.
• Work Ethic - Usually, I work harder and longer than all of my peers, and even those under me and above me as well.
• Attention to Detail - I am quite the perfectionist, and will point out flaws that many aren't able to or just don't care to.
2. Interviews:
• My key takeaway from this interview is that I am a product of my environment. However, it is my choice on how to use that upbringing and that is what will result in the success/failure of the final product (me).
• In this interview, I see that my focus and ability to give honest feedback is a strength. Most people don't seem to handle truth very well, but this person is able to take my advice in and apply it to become a better person and make better decisions.
• This person lists a bunch of different things things that make me stand out from the rest. One of those skills are my impeccable analytical skills.
• In this interview, this person points out my adaptability and ability to succeed in any setting. As they point out, this is extremely important in the business world, as everything is only becoming more global and diverse.
• This last interview actually pointed out a weakness of mine that I am still working on in my procrastination. However, they did say that despite that weakness, I am still able work hard and get it done no matter.
3. The biggest difference I took from this is my open and honest criticism of people and the advice I try to give them. While my intentions are usually never to bash anyone or discourage anyone, I am not one to sugarcoat anything and am usually referred to as an asshole because of it. It is quite a surprise and very refreshing to see that at least some people are able to see through the "tough love" and take it as a positive rather than a negative. Other than that, everything else is on par with how I described myself initially so there is no need to change my list with these further endorsements.
