==== I am currently a student at California Polytechnic University of Pomona pursing my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Human Resources. As a result of being at school for several years I have been able to strengthen some of my qualities, but even though I have been in school for so long I still have some weaknesses I need to embellish. This is why I would like to thank you for the opportunity you are giving me to discuss with you some of my strengths and weakness. I am looking forward for MHR 324 to help me reinforce my, writing, speech, and negotiating skills. ====

==== Before going in to more detail about my weaknesses I would like to first mention my strengths. One of my outstanding skills involves public speaking which over the years I had the opportunity to strengthen. Public speaking use to be a weakness of mine, until I had the chance to take various course to enhance this skill. Another strength of mine is being an active listener something that has taken time to learn. Being an active listener allows me to give full attention to what other people are saying, taking time to understand the points being made, asking questions as appropriate, and not interrupting at inappropriate times. Last but not least my best strengths is accomplishing task on time. Ever since I can remember I have always liked to accomplish given task before the deadlines in order to be well prepared. These are some skills that will help me in the future on a management position. ====

==== Although I posses some outstanding skills in order to be best fitted for the business world there are some weaknesses I need to embellish. To begin with my weakest skill is my writing skills especially my punctuation. I feel that I can articulate my thoughts well and clear but when it comes to writing them I tend to make punctuation errors. This is why I usually end up visiting the writing center in order to fix my mistakes. My second weakness is my speech clarity I tend to talk to fast. Usually when I am giving a speech or simply having a conversation I speak to fast and people tend to not understand what I am saying. This is why I prepare for a presentation by practicing as many times as I can, and when I am having a conversation I try to slow down in order to be understood. Another weakness one that is a very important in the business world is my negotiating skills. When it comes to negotiating contracts I am not that persuasive which result in not making a negotiation. This is why I am looking forward for this course to help me become a better negotiator in the future. ====

==== Once again I would like to thank you for the opportunity you gave me to discuss with you some of my strengths and weaknesses. Throughout this course I hope to gain more knowledge on how to improve on my weaknesses, and apply what I learn on the business world. ====
