Work / Strengths

Work Experience

I have had many work experiences; my first experience started at 11 years old, volunteering at a gas station to pump gas and wash windows for tips. This helped me learn customer service and sales. After doing this for three years, I started working as a host at a local hotel restaurant, which was an excellent opportunity to learn about the customer service industry. Furthermore, my most prominent job is my own business, The Dump Boy, a junk removal service. I started this business in the summer of 2022. This has been a great challenge and helped me learn things such as: how to hire, manage, operate, and market a business. I get filled with joy after seeing the customers' faces smile, looking at all their junk getting hauled away. I have had many work experiences and am excited to see what lies ahead.

Strengths

I have recently taken a Gallup strengths finder test, and my top six strengths are positivity, empathy, communication, woo, activator, and achiever. With positivity, I am generally happier with life whenever I put others in a good mood. I encourage others to keep their eyes on the positive by helping them see what's going well for them. Secondly, having the strength of empathy helps me discern and sense other people's feelings by imagining being in their lives and situations. In addition, finding solutions and affirming and celebrating others excites me. Next, my third strength is communication, and I generally find it easy to put my thoughts into words, have good conversations, and enjoy presenting. Following this is woo; people with the strength of woo love the challenge of meeting new people and winning them over. I gain satisfaction by breaking the ice and connecting with another person. Activator is my next strength: I can turn my thoughts into action. Instinctively I feel overjoyed when I can lead the charge in designing the project, rolling out the program, or rallying people to work on a worthy cause. Finally, my sixth strength is being an achiever. This strength possesses excellent stamina, and I take immense satisfaction in being busy and productive. Knowing and understanding my strengths help me in business and my personal life.
