Reflections:
I see myself as determined, positive and detail oriented. I think I have strong leadership and communication skills. Others see me as positive, determined, hard working, and loyal. How I view myself and how my interviewees described me is very similar. I think my interviewees were correct about me. They are my closest friends and family and know me better than anyone. I am not surprised our descriptions were similar and would not make any corrections to my list.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your post! I thought it was really interesting how every person sees you in a different way based on the experiences you share with them. The people closest to you tend to know you the best, but they all have different perspectives of you. Overall, great post!
Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteMy descriptions and my interviewees descriptions about me were also very similar. When doing this post I felt like maybe I was being to nice to myself with the descriptions but then I realized that maybe I know myself a little better than I thought. It's nice to see that people closest to you think very positively of you. We all need people like that in our lives.
Hey Jessica,
ReplyDeleteNot being judgmental upon meeting somebody is a very good quality to have. It allows you to understand them as a person before judging them on first impressions. You are right in that your closest friends and family know you better than anybody. It is important to open yourself up to feedback from those around you because they see all the good and bad things about you, even when you don't.
