Personal Narrative: Applying For A Job

Decent Essays
Growing up in an environment where practically everything was handed to me without any of my personal effort, I soon realized life would not continue to be like this unless I made a change. I had been raised in a community with a bunch of wealthy folks driving nice cars and living in big houses, but it wasn't until recently that I realized that this was just the paying off for what they had actually worked hard for.

It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

Throughout my life, I have invariably drawn from my life experiences, newly learned ideas and my continuing education to help problem-solve sensibly and realistically allowing me to move forward or help others reach their goals.

I deal with these situations by asking questions to stimulate a discussion, allowing them to draw on past experiences; positive or negative, consequently allowing them to come up with a solution or grasp the knowledge they are seeking.…
