In class two weeks ago we were assigned to log onto indianacareerconnect.com, and fill out our work interests and our work importance values. My highest on the work interests was enterprising, with a close second at artistic. Then for the work importance values I scored a 30 out of 30 on achievement, and a 20 out of 30 on independence. These results do not surprise me, this site was a good tool to understand more about yourself, and potentially send your resume to employers in Indiana.
My work interests tie in with my goal of someday opening my boutique on Purdue's campus. Enterprising is another way of saying in the business world that the individual is ready to embark on new tasks. Without this quality starting up a business would not be as easy. Also the artistic aspect coming in a close second after enterprising is a good quality, I believe this means that my store will be something new and fresh that consumers in that area have not seen before.
Also my work importance values also foreshadow that my dream of owning a boutique will become a reality. Achievement was my strongest out of the category, and I think that this shows I do not like to fail, and therefore have to have a feel of accomplishment. This quality in being a business owner is important because it helps with drive, and wanting to do well. At a close second was independence, which is a good quality to have when opening a boutique, because the owner has to be in charge of so many different areas within the store that it would almost be impossible to own a store if you were depending on someone else for help, or knowledge.
It is always reassuring when you do something that allows you to learn something about yourself. Great thing for you that the answers from Indiana Career Connect showed you that you were on the right track with your dreams!
ReplyDeleteI like how you were able to connect the characteristics and preferences you identified to your dreams for the store.
