professional reputation
One’s professional reputation is usually shaped by what one places value in life, and many consider what values they want to translate to their career presentation and how people respond to different situations. Besides, people integrate values they possess in their curriculum vitae when searching for jobs with the belief that employers will consider them in their selection. Some of the most placed values include; integrity, honesty, problem-solving,willingness to learn,
Problem-solving skills involve skills like active listening, communication, team building, and decision making. It is one of the values that I would use to build my professional reputation at work. In case of a problem, I will have the determination to get the best solution because most employers consider
jobseekers who love what they do and
are determined to get the answer to a problem until they get the job done. I applied this value at high school, whereby I could not understand a chemistry question, and I took an initiative to consult my chemistry teacher who helped me how to approach such chemistry questions. From then henceforth chemistry became my best subject.
Secondly, I would use
the value of teamwork to propel my professional reputation in all situations. The spirit of teamwork is very paramount because most jobs involve working in more or one group to achieve organizational goals. I would use this value at work by consulting and integrating the views and ideas of my colleagues before making a decision. I applied the amount in college by participating in group discussions, and all main examination results were excellent.
Finally, the value of willingness to learn is one of the skills I would adopt to ensure I build my professional reputation. I would use this value in the workplace by ensuring that I always learn new skills and techniques because in the modern world, jobs are evolving daily, and therefore, I must adapt to the changes by showing openness to grow and learn. This value will enhance my career development; for instance, I will apply those skills to answer questions in interviews. The value benefited me in my interview for industrial attachment with a non-governmental organization whereby we were to feed data in an excel spreadsheet. Through interaction with my colleagues, I perfected my data entry skills.
