Initial Reactions

So now that you all know my MBTI even though it was not required from me, I will share my reaction to hearing about the Goodwill Challenge. First off, I may have a different reaction than most since I had an orientation meeting at the same time. I received a text from Beth, who filled me    in on the basics of the challenge by simply saying "you're on my team!" Now, after I asked her what it entailed, I honestly felt a little overwhelmed. How in the world is a full time student going to find time to get an automobile for free, then donate it to Goodwill. (That is the negative side of being futuristic because sometimes it trumps looking at things step by step).

I feel that I will be an asset by taking risks. I have no problem meeting with people or figuring out interesting ways to pick up and deliver the automobiles to Goodwill. However, one aspect I would like to improve on is delegating to my fellow team members. I do not want to start taking full control like I always do and get myself too overwhelmed. If I can learn to take things in moderation and provide constant input to my team members, that would make my a better team player and more successful (hopefully) at this challenge.

Selling Yourself using MBTI

ENTJ...That is what I my results showed after I took the test. I am currently in a Human Resources class where we learned about the structure of job interviews and how personality traits can make/break an interview process. If the interview is for a selective role in an organization, such as a company looking for a gregarious outgoing salesperson, then an interviewer might focus on the extroversion traits of the candidate.
 Regarding MY MBTI results, thinking over feeling may be more beneficial in situations under pressure. For instance, my sophomore year I had an interview with Exel Logistics and they asked me various intra-company questions where I had to use factual and relevant information to come up with ideas/suggestions to help solve current 3PL issues. With my ability to use critical thinking on the spot and iNtuition knowing some relevant information at hand, I was able to answer the questions with more ease since it pertained to thinking attributes.
Selling myself is something that I definitely need to work on, especially in this competitive market. Finding the equilibrium between humility and  the 'Machiavelli' mindset of use your strengthens to get what you want is the most important recipe in selling yourself appropriately.-That is my theory!
