Discovering Personal Value in Even the Most Simple Jobs

In a hyper- competitive and volatile job market it is hard for undergraduate students to prepare themselves for the challenges they will face upon graduation with finding a career that they are passionate about. With my own graduation only five months away, I am interested in developing my personal portfolio so that I can define myself to employers and create a personal brand that will stand out and be noticed. I have had many odd and interesting jobs and have been in working environments with people who do not have the degree or experience to be considered for more desireable jobs. My experience has ranged from working for the humane society to ringing up customers in department stores.

The purpose of this blog will be to provide insights, stories and my personal reflection in order to help people become motivated in common, everyday working environments. My posts will display good and bad behaviors and what to do in order to develop yourself and show value to your employer. You do not have to have a high powered career to further yourself and you abilities. These insights will be particularly interesting to undergraduate students who do not yet have the degree or experience to land that dream job. Many undergraduates are stuck working undesirable jobs while trying to earn their degree and my posts will display how you can still develop yourself in any environment. It will also be valuable to a person who want to move up in an organization with out the a degree.
