Dear Professor Kim, My name is Krystal Uribe and I would like to discuss my strengths, weaknesses and areas that I want to improve in this class. I look forward to not only learning new approaches to professional etiquette, but to also improving on my current knowledge on the subject. First and foremost I would like to discuss my weaknesses. I would definitely like to work on my professional writing skills. I feel that I do write well, however I seem to have trouble expressing myself in a professional manner. My letters usually need several passes of revisions before submission. It would be my goal to write in a professional manner, quickly and efficiently. This area of improvement would also apply to formatting. I struggle a bit with which format and style to choose from when it comes to writing resumes, formal letters, and emails. Another weakness that I wish to improve on is my organizational skills. Although I do know how to keep my self organized, I personally believe that organization helps with efficiency and can always be improved upon. There are many different ways to be organized, and as such can apply more efficiently to various situations and positions. Overall it is my goal to learn how to adapt and apply different organizational skills to the proper situation. I believe that this goal also applies to organizing presentations and projects. Now I would like to discuss my strengths. I feel that I am particularly talented in the area of public speaking. I have a passion for connecting to audiences and feel confident in my skills. My ability to speak in public has proved valuable in past and present working environments. Although, I feel comfortable in front of an audience I am constantly open to new feed back so that I may continue to improve. Another strength I have is my abilities to both lead and work within a group. I feel that I make an excellent leader when the situation is appropriate. I have no issue taking command of a group if necessary and even more at ease with my decision making skills. I am an excellent problem solver which complements my willingness to also be the best group member I can be. I truly believe that being a great group member is as important as being a great leader. In Conclusion I am very grateful for your enthusiastic and eager approach to help every member in the class improve. Thank you for your time and effort and I look forward to improving and learning the valuable lessons you have to share.
