Five ways in which I think I have human capital:
Recordings can be found here.
Reflection:
I interviewed five of my closest friends and I think that my view of myself is similar to how they view me. A lot of the words they used to describe me were synonymous with things I said about myself. This makes sense because I would think that, if anyone, my closest friends have an accurate perception of me.
One interesting thing that I learned from one of my friend’s interviews is that my loyalty to people depends on their loyalty to me. I think that I can be a great, loyal friend but it ultimately depends on if I feel that will be reciprocated. If I could change anything from the list, it would be the loyalty part; I’d clarify this point.
- Direction – I have a clear sense of direction in terms of what I want out of life aka career, family, etc. I think this is a unique quality to have because a lot of people tend to waver on what they want (e.g. how some people switch their majors frequently or job hop).
- Loyalty – I am loyal to my friends and family. I have unwavering faith in them and would stand up for any of them. That being said, I can still identify their strong suits and their shortfalls so that my faith isn’t misplaced.
- Expressive – I tend to always express what I am feeling. This means people can often read my face to see how I am feeling. Although this can be a shortfall, it has been an asset because people often view me as trustworthy since they can get a good read of me.
- Competitive – While this can be viewed as negative, I think it is beneficial because it gets results (and it’s all done in good fun).
- Sociable – I tend to make friends easy.

Izzy,
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post! I really enjoyed listening to your interviews and comparing it to your own evaluation of what you think makes your human capital truly unique and special. Your five points are valuable qualities to have not only in your interactions, but how you advance through the business world as well. I believe you have what it takes to accomplish your goals because of your outstanding explanation of what makes you, you.
Hi Izzy,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed listening to your audio recordings. All of your friends had very positive things to say about you. It is clear that your friends truly respect you as a person. You also identified five really great personality traits. Loyalty will take you very far in life and competitiveness will allow you to get to where you want to be in your career and life in general. Your friends definitely backed up what you already knew about yourself. Keep up the good work!
Izzy, really good job describing your own human capital. I liked this assignment because I think it is important to know your own strengths and it’s always nice to hear good things about yourself haha. I also think being competitive is a good thing in business, it relates back to being tenacious and motivated to go after what you want. Keep it up!
