What’s Your Secret Sauce?


 1) Describe five ways in which you think you have human capital that is truly unique.
1. Independent: I’m able to complete tasks myself and although as a leader it’s important to delegate tasks, I also know I will be able to handle everything myself if needed.
2. Reliable: When it comes to deadlines and completing tasks, I will always prioritize my schedule in order to ensure everything is completed efficiently.
3. Trustworthy: With businesses, I understand there is confidential information and I can be trusted with sensitive details.
4. Understanding: Conflicts and issues are bound to happen, but what’s important is how you handle the situation. I think I do a great job at remaining calm, understanding both sides and figuring out the best way to move forward.
5. Hardworking: I will go above and beyond needed in order to complete a task. Once I get my mind set on something, I will do whatever it takes to complete it.

2) Interview the five people who know you the best.
“How would you best describe me?”
Interview #1: Boss
You are very charismatic. You seem very passionate and involved with every task you take on. I believe this is what makes you a good team player.

Interview #2: Coworker
I would say you’re determined. You have a lot going on between school and work and you always are able to hold your composure to make sure both aspects are taken care of.

Interview #3: Sister
Straight to the point. You are very honest and like to get to the bottom of things without sugar coating it. It lets people know exactly where you’re at instead of them having to assume or guess.

Interview #4:  N/A
Interview #5: N/A
Was only to get 3 interviews completed.

3) Reflect on the differences.
I thought overall the most surprising interview was with my boss. I am an introvert and I feel like that makes me hard to connect with people. I think during these times, I’m able to put on a different face for a little to get the job done. The other interviews I believe were in tune with what I thought myself.

  1. Hi Jessica,
    I love how the three interviewees are very different from each other. They each highlighted a new aspect of your Human Capital. What fantastic feedback from your boss! I love that you described your HC as trustworthy, which is extremely important for your company to have confidence in you! An educational skill you could add is pursuing your BSBA at UF! Your academic career, and experience with the company you currently work, are a culmination of outstanding education and skills!

  2. Hi Jessica,

    It sounds like you have truly unique human capital! When I did this assignment, I also noticed that my interviewees often commented on my people skills, which was different than my initial assessment. I think your boss’ interview showed that you have more people skills than you may give yourself credit for. Even if you find it difficult to connect with people because you are an introvert, it sounds like you do a very good job of relating to others.
