Trevor post

I feel my strongest HR competency is relationship management. I had had a wonderful opportunity to lead in a couple different organizations at a very young age. One being in the military, which was was more of a jump in and learn as you go experience. Secondly, I worked for UPS as a preload supervisor for a couple of years and built upon the leadership roles and examples I had previously learned.

In my experience there, I knew each one of my employees as well as I could. I knew who had families, what was going on, and tried to cater to each of them when possible. I earned a lot of respect this way and with respect I received good, hard work in return.

I honestly believe that improvement is something we all can always do. I would like to build upon my business acumen competency as that is where I feel like I lack the most. Calculating and determining internal and external factors for a business is something I don’t have much experience with at all.

I grew up as a “anti-college” kid and was dead set on the military or a trade. I didn’t return to school until I was 27-28 years old when I figured out I was working way more than I wanted to in order to support my daughter. Its a trade off I don’t wish on any parent. I found a less stressful job, started school, and a couple years later am here hopefully setting myself up to be successful in a educational and financial aspect. Just with the business classes I have taken thus far, I feel like I can improve on the business acumen competency by using tools like the SWOT analysis and applying them to the company I work for or future positions.

Elizabeth post

My strongest competency is that of relationship management. In my current role I maintain professional relationships with individuals from executives to skilled laborers at various companies. These relationships help me to complete daily goals and activities in an environment where I am often a stranger or a very rare face; which is essential to maintaining my productivity during the day. I have had very little opportunity to practice global or cultural diversity in my current position.

While I do have an understanding of cultural ethics and diversity, I have no practical application in a professional setting. I do believe that I could improve on this weakness by asking questions and pursuing learning opportunities in my current role. I am often too busy or distracted by other tasks to ask questions and learn more about different cultures in a work-place setting as opposed to doing independent research.

This is certainly an area that I think is incredibly important to maintain constant growth and development in. In our diverse society it is imperative that we maintain knowledge about differing cultures and maintain an ethical and diverse approach to personal relations.
