I interviewed with a family friend. She is a retail store manager.<br />
<br />
B:What was most useful to you about this experience?<br />
It was nice to see that my comfort level in interviewing has improved. I feel like I know myself better.<br />
<br />
C: What was the most difficult question you were asked? Why?<br />
Name a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker and how did you resolve it? I could not think of a time that this has happened to me personally. I shared a time when I helped two other co-workers resolve a conflict between them. I just tend to get along with everyone.<br />
<br />
D: What advice would you give to others preparing for an interview?<br />
Practice giving answers to difficult situations. Be confident but not over bearing. Be yourself.<br />
<br />
E: Name at least three (3) things you learned.<br />
Three things I learned are first I laugh too much to ease my nerves. Second that there really are very similar questions usually asked in an interview and third I'm not as bad as I thought at this interviewing thing.<br />
<br />
F: Name at least three (3) things that can be improved on for your next interview.<br />
I could probably shorten some of my responses, Maybe a little less emotion, my heart guides me but sometimes I open up a little too much, and be ready with more experiences I've had so that they totally relate to the questions being asked in the interview.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01382480708065180755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771813869570637452.post-88656816144923092662010-12-08T13:13:00.001-08:002010-12-08T13:13:40.917-08:00Tell me about yourself...<div class="entrytext">I am Tara Grace O’Crowley; I am the 5th child out of six. There are five girls and one boy. I spent half my childhood in Ohio and have been in Utah the second half and now into my adulthood. I come from a very wonderful supportive family. I am a mother and wife. I have three handsome little boys who are the light of my life. Porter is eight, Tyson is five, and Braxton is almost two. I am married to a wonderful man whom I love and adore, he is in the Military and I'm proud of him and the service he always gives. We have been married for nine months and it’s been great! I am a hair dresser on the side, when I take a break from kids and household things. I love crafting mainly scrapbooking and card making. I have never been one for sports, but I do love bowling, if that is considered a sport. I love cooking with my husband and enjoy making up new recipes often. I am very good at multitasking. I work well alone or with a group of people. I enjoy learning new things and pushing myself out of my comfort at times so that I am able to always be growing and finding out more about myself. I love to help others and find great joy in doing so. I enjoy communicating with and listening to others. I am in school full time and enjoy it. I am looking at going into Culinary Arts and feel pretty good about this avenue.<br />
Four things I learned in the readings:<br />
1 - That there is normally a similar set of questions asked in an interview<br />
2 - Send a thank you after an interview, it makes perfect sense, just never have thought to do it.<br />
3 - Practice your interview. This is a really good one. I think this would help with some of the “butterflies” you get when entering an interview.<br />
4 - If you don't understand a question, ask for clarification or repeat back the question to make sure you understand what was asked. I think this was another good one, sometimes you may not fully understand and it's good to know that it is okay to ask for a clarification. </div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01382480708065180755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771813869570637452.post-71834778345894532512010-12-05T22:21:00.000-08:002011-02-15T08:35:03.430-08:00Resume and Cover letter<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tara G.

What skills do I have?... I am glad we had these assessments to take. They really helped me to see what skills I truly have and that I am pretty good at some of them :) </em><br />
<em>Okay so three skills I enjoy...<br />
1. Listening<br />
2. Writing<br />
3. Handling people/working with the public<br />
Three skills I perform well...<br />
1. Communicating<br />
2. Creating<br />
3. Supporting<br />
Three skills I would like to develop...<br />
1. Researching<br />
2. Critical-thinking<br />
3. Projecting/Forecasting<br />
The skills I would like to develop from the employer's top 10 are...<br />
1. As I mentioned above Analytical/Research<br />
2. Leadership/Management skills<br />
<br />
As for my plans to developing these skills... I tend to be a little more shy and what some would consider a "push over" I am the peacemaker and always tend to follow to avoid an argument, or debate. My husband is my total opposite. I am slowly learning to say just what I think and feel. I am finding it is far better for me and those around me to do so. I am working on building more self-confidence by pushing myself out of my "bubble". Attending school is helping me with some of these things I would like to improve on, such as the research aspect. I still want to be the same Tara, just with more confidence, and new and improved skills. With the Leadership/Management I plan to try to take to lead more on things and stop following. </em>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01382480708065180755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771813869570637452.post-34724530910551793962010-09-09T17:56:00.000-07:002010-09-19T22:13:23.451-07:00Personal Values<div align="center"><span style="font-size: large;"><em>My Top 10</em></span></div><em><br />
</em><br />
<em>1. Faith/Religion - This is my foundation and without it I would be lost. Nothing is more important to me. This will definitely affect my career choice. I will not work on Sundays when this is the day I attend church and keep this day for family time and visiting extended family.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>2. Family – My husband and my children are the most important people in the world to me. I want a career that will still allow me to spend quality time with them.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>3. Affection – This is very important to me. I was raised in a very affectionate home; I always knew I was loved. I try to always make a point of letting my husband and children know of my love for them with a little hug or kiss. </em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>4. Service – I feel it is important to serve others whenever I am able to. It makes me happy to help others. I find that I can make a difference by serving others. This will be something to consider for sure when choosing a career. I like to work with others so I would not want to choose something that would isolate me from others.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>5. Freedom – I am so grateful for the freedom we have. I am especially grateful for a Military husband who serves our country. I have the freedom to choose what religion I believe where I want to live and what career I want to pursue.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>6. Stability – There is a comfort for me in knowing I have a stable home and living environment. I was a single mom for three years and things at time felt very unstable especially not having a father in the home. I am grateful for a hardworking husband who provides for our family. I am someone who likes structure and consistency so with a career I will need something that is stable and somewhat consistent.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>7. Friendships – The older I get the more I really value good friendships. Especially with my sisters. I enjoy spending time with friends and making new friends. I know I enjoy working with others so I want a career that allows this.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>8. Trust – This is very important. Trust is definitely something that has to be earned. I once read, “It takes years to build trust and only seconds to destroy it,” or “it only takes suspicion, not proof to destroy it.” It is very important in any type of relationship to be a trustworthy person.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>9. Personal Learning and growing – I am finding that I love to learn, it has helped my self-esteem. I feel that by always trying to learn and grow more I am setting a good example for my children as well. This would be something that could affect a career choice, if I cannot continue to grow and learn more I could lose interest.</em><br />
<em><br />
</em><br />
<em>10. Self-Respect – I know my self-worth and I take pride in presenting myself in a very modest manner. I respect myself enough to not lower my standards or beliefs for any reason, even a career choice.</em>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01382480708065180755noreply@blogger.com0
