Values Employers Can Expect
Growth Mindset: As coined by Stanford professor Carol Dweck, this mindset describes people who believe anything is possible through dedicating time, effort, and energy. I have lived this formula, never doubting myself and always making a large bet on myself. Even though I was not a talented athlete for most of my life, I knew that given the right direction I could compete at a high level. The growth mindset has put me on track to becoming an amateur competitor.
Unrelenting Persistence: Mistakes and setbacks can feel devastating and are often enough to make most people quit. However, employers can expect me to take these painful experiences and utilize them as lessons. Failure is quitting, and so long as I grow these mistakes end up becoming invaluable education.
Discipline: The most efficient path to success in any avenue of life is through discipline. Benjamin Franklin advocated for temperance, and in essence promoted discipline. By adhering to a strict diet, and exercise regime, and constantly learning, I understand that achieving seemingly impossible feats becomes almost easy through consistent discipline.
Loyalty: The most important quality in a person is loyalty. When one is loyal, there is complete and absolute trust and all involved parties can move at a much faster pace. The employer I align myself with will immediately note how dedicated to the company I am and will learn that I can handle and prefer lots of accountability
Communication: Changing the world is an impossible solo endeavor. Therefore, effective communication skills are a must. From talking to and learning from different coaches, teachers, and co-workers, I am constantly put in a spot where I must be able to listen and retain relevant information. Similarly, experience in the customer-facing food industry taught me to listen to customer complaints (even if I did not want to) and articulate a response that appeases the customer while still not making any major concessions.
The Ideal Work Culture
Transparency: Honesty is the foundation for any professional relationship. Given the loyalty I promise a firm, I look forward to having a transparent relationship with my employer. I always be honest with my employers and am excited to work with accurate timely information.
Standard of Perfection: Companies that demand the most from their employees encourages their team to grow into their potential. I will work for a company that holds my team and I to the highest standard and forces me to grow at an uncomfortable pace.
Learn from mistakes: Perfection is hard, and striving for the best does not mean an easy straight path. Instead, demanding the best often means errors ensue. My boss will appreciate my mistakes and together we will learn from these setbacks and create a plan to make sure the same blunder will never be made again.
Collaboration: No achiever ever attributes their success to their own. Mountains are not moved by one person, and enterprises do not just have one employee. I look forward to elevating my firm’s mission through encouraging my teammates’ strengths.
Mentorship: “A wise man once said nothing.” I look forward to my boss not only being a person that hands out directions, but a teacher I will turn to for advice and critique. Firms that teach will have my open hears, silent mouth, and eager mind as assets.
Creative freedoms: There are many ways up the mountain, and firms that value their employees realize their employees may need to approach difficult problems in different ways. The firm I work for will provide me the necessary map through mentorship and requirements, but allow me to explore different avenues to find an optimal solution.
