Journal Post #4

Strengths and Weaknesses

Two of the most common questions asked in an interview are, “So tell me what would identify as your strengths?”  Followed by the next question which is, “So what would you say are your weaknesses?”  At which point you then try and turn your “weaknesses” into strengths.  :-)  This week I have been able to see one of my characteristics I have typically identified as a strength may be more of weakness.  That is my organizational abilities.

I like things in order.  I like things clean and I like things neat.  If you ask me where a file is, I will go to the main folder and click on the subfolder and pull up a copy.  Some may call it O.C.D., but I call it being organized. 

This week has been anything but organized.  Just one thing after another—at home, with school and at work.  A lot of late nights and early mornings.  As I have done my best to roll with the punches and keep up, I have found that I lack the ability to just jump in and get things done—quick fast and on to the next project.  Is some ways my need to be organized has got in the way of the need to get things done.  This upcoming week I am going to really focus on making this weakness into a strength.


$100.00 Challenge Project Update:

I am going to begin earning my sweat equity at my neighbor’s cabinet shop on Saturday.  Looking forward to getting the started and also seeing what type of materials I will have to work with in building my projects.
