As I See Myself

• What technical skills did you learn at Year Up that will add value to this company during your internship?

The technical skills that I learned at Year Up are worth a million words. I’ve learned how to

•   construct computers
•   how to visualize a computer
•   how to install an operating system
•   how to troubleshoot the BOIS
•   how to use the Microsoft suite applications with efficiency
•   and many more

• Which of your Year Up skills do you anticipate you’ll get to display first?

I believe that my professionalism will be perceived first and foremost. This is what’s going to determine my reputation, my rapore with colleagues/managers, my persona, and my future. It is a skill that has been on my top ten list since I’ve joined Year Up, to maintain and almost perfect.

• What kind of manager do you think you will work well under?

I think I will work well with someone who is an all-around positive professional. Someone who is experienced and knows what they’re going, but can still manage to stay humble. I would hope to work with someone who is willing to teach me what they know and is open to me wanting to challenge myself in new aspects.

• How do you plan to demonstrate that you are dependable, positive, and eager while at your internship?

I plan to take initiative and leadership if there are opportunities. I don’t want to be the person who can’t be trusted with a project, or the boss doesn’t want to give me work because I’m unreliable…That’s not me anyway. I strive to make sure that I do my part in everything I do, especially if others are counting on me. And if I can’t deliver like I said I would then I will communicate that well ahead of time to ensure that a plan can be made and things still ruin smooth.

• Do you have a tentative plan for what you’ll do after your internship? If yes, what is it?

After Year Up if I don’t get hired for a full time position (which isn’t m immediate focus) I would like to go back to school. I want to finish getting my Associates degree for CNIT, then I’m going to move onto getting my Master’s, and finally I want to achieve obtaining my MBA in business management as a start. I ultimately want to become a successful entrepreneur. Either before or after my first degree I want to ensure my housing. Meaning I’m planning on putting in 500 hours of community service with Habitat for Humanity. This is equivalent to a down payment on a house. In doing this I’m helping to build my future homes as well as many others who are in need. But after I am done with my education I’m going to start my own business or be on my way to the top of corporate America.
