One would never think that it would take so much work to
learn who you were. I guess if we knew we knew everything about our self we
would grow bored. One of the things that makes life so grand is the continual process
of learning and discovering what makes each of us unique. The last two
exercises have hopefully helped you discover a little bit about what makes you
unique. This next exercise can really challenge you. The idea is to take the
last two activities and build upon them to create a personality statement. The idea
of a personality statement is to create a short message that would allow you to
present yourself to an employer or when networking. You will take the personality
characteristics you identified and use them to introduce yourself. You cannot
merely state characteristics but you must demonstrate them. This is where the
key accomplishments come into play. This assignment will help you see how you
demonstrate strengths. We do not show characteristics in the same way. You may
discover further talents that you have.
Here is a short example of my personality statement. I am a highly organized individual. I plan
to accomplish assignments and projects a couple of days before they are due. I
seek to manage my time so I can complete the optimal amount of work. This
allows me to save time and energy.
Did you learn anything new about yourself? Have you been
able to see how you are unique? Remember that there is no one else like you.
There are specific things that only you can do.
