Top 3 Hard Skils
1. BilingualI am fluent in both English and Spanish. In my current workplace, speaking Spanish is useful when talking to clients or coworkers who primarily speak Spanish. It is the 2nd most spoken language in the U.S and is definitely useful to know.
2. Microsoft OfficeWe were required to take a Microsoft office course in high school and it has been immensely useful in office workplace settings. Currently, I primarily use excel but still feel familiar with the other programs.
3. WritingTo be honest, I am not sure how many papers I have written over the past few years. But I do know I spent most of my time at the University of Washington writing analysis or research papers. Formal academic writing is something that I feel confident about and can show examples of.
Top 3 Soft Skills
1. CommunicationThough I have had a variety of jobs, they all revolve around customer service. My jobs are all about providing a service and being kind even when it feels nearly impossible to do so.
2. Collaboration Understanding the way other people work and figuring out how I fit into that has been a journey. Focusing on the end result is often more beneficial than avoiding working with others.
3. Punctuality I am never late to work and schedule time off weeks in advance. I will call out perhaps once or twice a year if I am particularly sick but will otherwise be reliable.
2 Hard Skills to Improve
1. Adobe Creative SuiteThough I feel like I have learned so much about the adobe programs, I still have so much room for growth.
2. HTML/CSSLearning about html and css has been so tedious yet satisfying at the same time. The projects we work on have been my favorite part of this program.
2 Soft Skills to Improve
1. Public-speakingPublic speaking is not intimidating to me, but it is something I want to improve at. I am naturally a soft spoken person and do not always notice if I need to be louder unless being told.
2. OrganizationI wish I was organized to the point of being able to work on assignments a few days before they are due. I can mostly manage to finish an assignment the day before it is due, but it can be so draining at times.
