My Talent Essay

Before taking this class, I’ve never really thought about connecting my talents with the world of work. I was under the impression that work was just something you do, and because of that you don’t need to have a specific talent to do a certain job; getting good at your job was merely a matter of practice. After considerable thought, I realize that my talents already exist in my day to day life, and I can now see how they can be rendered well into the workplace. Hence, my three talents are: Sensitivity, Creativity and Being Organized. In doing the task that was assigned in the class, I have come to realize that I’ve always been a Sensitive person.

I’m someone who cannot effectively work in a messy environment. If I don’t organize my tasks or assignments, I feel like my mind tends to wander, and I cannot be focused. Thus, I keep my desk extremely neat, getting drawer dividers and placing pens and pencils in separate containers.

For that reason, I think working in a non-profit organization or a company that has a good cause would be ideal for me because I will be in an environment where the employees aren’t simply aiming to complete today’s tasks or next week’s target, rather they are aiming for a larger goal.
