· What are you good at?- am very good at using good personal
judgement and decision implementation. I can take a situation
and make a decision for an effective alternative route.
· What do you need to improve? I need to work on not second
guessing my self. This causes me to have uncertainty.
· What do you enjoy doing? I enjoy making a difference in a
positive way. I like feeling involved in important decisions.
· What are some of the things that you find unpleasant? I don't
like dealing with conflict. It is hard for me to make decisions
that can negatively impact others.
· Give examples that support your ideas for each statement.
when I worked with United healthcare's training department I
discovered much about what I was good at and what I was not
good at. I was tasked to make group decisions on how to
improved the training material and process. I was also faced
with walking trainees in not so pleasant processes such as QA.
· Identify career opportunities and threat by researching (cite
them) job prospects in the industry you’re interested in. The
biggest threat I found in my research would be technology.

What are you good at? Within the workplace I am good at
staying on task and focused. I am good at following directions

2. given and helping out others that are confused or overwhelmed.
I have always been good at following directions which has
helped me to learn so many new things about cooking in the
kitchen.
What do you need to improve? I can improve on multitasking,
working quickly and efficiently, and striving to move up in the
workplace. I talk quite a lot and I find it hard to talk to the
servers and work at the same time so i need to find the happy
medium.
What do you enjoy doing? I enjoy helping others, completing
tasks from start to finish, and bettering the environment around
me any way possible. Every time I come into work I create a to
do list and it is very satisfying being able to cross stuff off of
the list.
What are some of the things that you find unpleasant? I don't
like drama, a dirty workplace, liars within the workplace, and
cheaters. The kitchen that I work in can get very dirty
sometimes and a dirty workplace leads to messy products.
There are career opportunities as a cake decorator or assistant
bakery manager at a company called Nothing Bundt Cakes. This
business has been open for a while and they do wedding and
party cakes. This could possibly be competition for the bakery I
am looking at opening. There are also positions available at
Sam's club, Walmart, and Panera. Nothing Bundt Cakes would
be the most competition for the bakery.
