This is my friend Sarah. We are both in the Journalism school together. I really appreciated her insight. One skill I hadn't thought about that she thought was important to my human capital was my kindness.

This is my cousin Francis. She described me as friendly and able to put a smile on anyones face. I had never thought of that as a skill when I was completing number one of this activity.

This is my roommate last year. I'm glad to hear that she thinks I'm motivated and her description of me matched my own. I also think I'm hard working and strive to do my best, reaching out to any opportunity that comes my way.

This is Jane. I met her this year in my Sorority pledge class. One of the big things she discussed was my kindness as well as my ability to be straight forward with people. She added that she thought I was trustworthy and loyal, two human capital adjectives that I was honored to be described with.

3. Most of the human capital I had described about myself, matched my family and friends. Many skills and abilities they described in me I didn't even think of as human capital. These interviews made me realize that ever single person has a different perspective of you and sometimes they match your own interpretation and sometimes they don't. People said I was happy, friendly, loyal, and straightforward, aspect of myself that through these interviews I learned are skills because they make me unique.
Hi Sara;
ReplyDeleteOverall, I think you did a great job finding five ways in which you believe you have human capital. However, I think you could go deeper into describing your items. For example, you say you always try to do your best at work, but you do not explain/specify why you believe this fact to be part of your human capital. Lastly, I think you did a good reflection about your and your interviewee's perception of your human capital. Go Gators!
Hi Sara,
ReplyDeleteGood job finding your secret sauce. It sounds like you have some great qualities that are very observable by those around you. When I was reading your descriptions, I was most impressed with the combination of qualities that you have. You have a great combination of both hard and soft skills. Having a great personality, being uplifting and kind is special when you can also be straight to the point focused on your task and give a great speech.
