We have been working on work portfolio's so that we can get an interview. The work portfolio gets us in the door, but we have to be able to sell ourselves once we are there.
THE most difficult question that will be asked by and employer is "Tell Me About Yourself." Even though this should be easy we often get scared and never know what to say. So we are going to practice now. I want you to type up an answer to that question. You will be graded on what you say, grammar, spelling, and most importantly your word count. YOU MUST HAVE 200 or more words on this one. For the comments to other students - you only need to do 1 and you must pick someone you DO know well and provide them with thoughts on what they could include about themselves. If someone else has already respond to that student you have to pick someone else - so that means that each student should post, provide a comment, and have one response from another student. If you post a comment to a student that has already been posted then you must do 2 comments and not just one. REMEMBER - these are job related answers, not a I like to hanging out with friends and party. We want to know about you as a possible employee.

Well let’s see I am a really hard worker. When a job really needs to get to get done I will get it done, I might push it off a little but I usually always end up getting it done. I’m completely honest, some people say brutally honest but that’s how I was raised. I tell the truth whether it hurts or not. I can multitask like crazy; I got that from babysitting 5 kids at a time and training horses. I am pretty good at managing my time throughout the day. I am a major planner; I plan every single thing minute to minute. I am free spirited but still do my job; I like to have fun while doing my job though. I love to solve problems, whether it is people’s life problems to machine problems. I am usually a fun person to get to know if you give me the time. I am a great employee and am good at taking instructions. People usually judge me to quickly and never give me the chance to show my true self. But I promise you if you give me the chance and the time I will show you that I am a good honest, hardworking employee and I would make a great aspect to any company.

Ok so I am someone that won't stop till the job is done. One of my pet peeves is if someone is not doing their job and it needs to be done that minute I can get very impatient. I know people are going to call me a nerd for this but school isn't to bad. I like it because everyday you learn something knew. I love to challenge my self, cross-country and track are the two things I have done it in the most. First of all I love running but it has to be long distance. I went into cross-country and pushed my self to do my best. In track I switched to a long distance runner in the middle of the season to challenge myself. I am a great problem solver. When I am in groups I usually figure stuff out but the problem is getting it out there. I do think I am shy but I don’t want to make a fool out of my self.

Well for starters I’m growing up in a small town with very small school. I am very hard working with the things that really matter to me. A job and something I would enjoy are some of the things that matter to me. I am really good at problem solving because I am creative. I usually think outside the box even when I don’t have to. Being easy to get along with is one of my most important things I try to be. I think that it is a good way to cooperate with others, especially when they are hard to work around. I’m always trying to solve problems when things are going wrong. I also hate being boring, because It makes me feel like I am not get much accomplished. I do not let things like rude comments get to my head so I do not get distracted or emotional. In the past I have learned that is what makes things a lot easier and I am all about making things easy. When something interests me I get things done a lot faster and smoother And the things your company is doing really interests me.

Well when I think of me I think of a person who has potential but sometimes does not use all of it to his advantage for example: in school we are supposed to work our hardest and try to do good in everything. I was not in this category for the last 3 years. The reason I think is because I was not thinking of how much potential I have and I didn’t know how to use it. Another thing I think of when I think about myself is talent, why? Because I am the most musically gifted person n my entire family. I also have a knack for acting and the dramatic arts. I intend to put these talents to work in my future job. Also when I think of myself I think of a kind and caring person, but at the same time a very judgmental and conservative boy. I grew up around my brother and my dad as my two main influences ( sometimes I regret that they were my two main influences) this provided me with my particular point of view and the way I judge people and also the way I run things that I control. I also see a very determined person that can get the job done if I have a positive attitude and a motive to do the job. Finally I see a person to go to if you are having emotional problems, I have helped people before settle their problems and move on. This is the kind of person I think I am.

Well I was born in Antioch, California. I grew up in California for 14 years of my life then I moved to Pomeroy, Washington. It is a very small town in southern Washington. It was a big culture shock to go from the big cities of California to the small town of Pomeroy, Washington. I like living in the country though. I also like all the friends I have made because of the move. I have not held any substantial jobs but I have worked for people doing small things. It is hard to describe work ethic if you had never had any. I am going to school in Pomeroy at Pomeroy jr./sr. high school. It is a nice small school where the curriculum is fun. I am taking one tech prep class and two special courses. My tech prep is digitools and the special courses are agriculture 1 and family health and wellness. They are fun classes. I plan to graduate in 2014 with the rest of my class. I hope to have a fun time the rest of the time I am in high school and to keep my grades up. I think I am the kind of person that tries to take shortcuts sadly. I have the potential to do things really good but I try to take shortcuts and it doesn’t always work out for me. If I could actually do something beginning to end then I would be able to do it well. I also am hard working and dedicated. I don’t ever give up until the job is done. If something is unfinished I step in to get it done. That’s who I am.

So first off I am a very hard worker in my opinion. To tell you the truth when I was in elementary school I really didn’t care about school and didn’t try very hard, but now that I am in high school I started to realize that I cant slack off and that I need to work hard so that I can get a good job when I’m older, and with the economy in bad shape and people losing jobs or being turned away from jobs. I decided that the slacking had to end because I do not want to be living on the streets or anything I wanted a job that paid good and I had enough to live off of. Ok that is a little bit about me now here is some more. Well I love sports even though I didn’t do many of them in school, and that is because I’m not really competitive. My favorite sports are softball and swimming. Some people might say that I don’t like reading but I actually do. If I find a good book to read I usually wont put it down. I also like school I’m not all that great at it but I do like it. That’s all I really can say about myself other the basics like brown, hair blue eyes, and that I’m 15, or that I have one brother who is 23 and a sister that is 14.

I guess I can start by saying that I live in a small town (Pomeroy, WA) and I believe that I am a very hard worker. Something that you will find about me that really bothers me is modesty I honestly hate it when someone in golf will shoot an outstanding round of golf and then say that they played like crap. The same goes for students on test saying after they took it that “ Wow I totally failed that test” and then they come out with an A saying well I guess its ok. I love playing sports this year I did basketball and golf and for golf I get to go to state as an Alternative. Something I like to do is working by myself whether its mowing a lawn or some painting project or even a summer job I like working by myself because you don’t regularly have to be arguing about something and best of all you don’t have to split the profit. I have worked with people before and it can be really irritating when some isn’t doing something right and you tell them and then they just keep doing the same thing wrong. Now on the other hand some jobs you have to work with someone else for instance when me and Tyler King were working for Mike Legerwood we were branding cows that day a Tyler and I were supposed to be round up calves and throwing them threw the shoot, now during I can not just say that I was peaceful I found myself be yelled at and me yelling as well because if you know mike nothing ticks him off more than a working day being very slow. So overall I am a good hard worker who doesn’t like people that shortchange themselves.

To start off I really love outdoors. I think of myself as an outdoorsy person. I am really nice to everybody and I really like to make people laugh. Some people say that I am a very strange person to be around (including my parents) but that’s just who I am and I like myself for that. I am a very trustworthy person and anybody could talk to me and I would be able to listen to him or her. I’m usually really good at giving advice so I help people when I can. I have a lot of friends that I love with all my heart but there are only a few that I trust with my life. I think of myself as a really hard working person. I love to work and help my dad around the farm whenever I get the chance. I’m currently not involved in school sports but I do love playing them, my favorite sports are Basketball and Volley (even though I am not very good). I really like to be involved in school activates as much as I can. This year I’m involved in FFA and it has been a blast! Next year I’m planning on being involved in FFA again and in FBLA. I really like to smile and I hope that I make people smile each day! :)

Max- your response is completely true I have seen you many times not do things to your potential. One I most recently remember is you not doing the rituals competition and this really shocked me because your calling is acting and rituals was mainly acting out an officer part, now I do realize that the other people doing it might have the reason but you can relate that to a job what if one day when your acting you have the main part with someone that you absolutely hate do you just give up.

There are many things an employer should know about me. I’m a hard worker and very determined. When I try to do something I will keep attempting until I’m successful at it. I’m a good listener and pay attention and actually understand what others are saying. I can learn on my feet at a fast pace. I’m very motivated and try my hardest in everything I do. I believe that how you work is an example of your character and what kind of person you are. This makes me try my hardest. One of my skills is that I can multitask. I learned this skill from the many years I’ve worked babysitting. Another is that I can successfully work a cash register, which I learned from volunteering at concessions. One thing that’s really important to me is to have an upbeat attitude and a high morale. I’m a friendly and polite person. I have good customer service and can work with anybody. I can speak at ease in front of people. I enjoy helping others. I also enjoy doing a good job on something I tried hard to complete. I’m an honest, trustworthy person. Even if telling the truth won’t come in connivance to me I’m honest anyways. That is who I am.

Hello, my name is Wyatt Hyer and I am a freshman in High School. I live in Pomeroy Washington and attend Pomeroy Jr./Sr. High School. I play football, I wrestle, and I golf. I have three brothers, two sisters, and three nieces. It isn’t easy doing sports, attending school, working, and having all these people running around my house. I consider myself a hard worker. I have worked for one of my best friend’s dad since the sixth grade doing all kinds of things like painting fences, working cows and calves, and remodeling his house. For this job I have to be responsible and serious most the time… I guess that is why I usually mess around at school. I am also part of FFA which I take part in different activities and competitions and also show a pig at the fair. This has taught me many things like leadership and speaking skills. A lot of the stuff that I learn and develop in FFA I think will help me for future jobs or scholarships. I am also a 4-H camp counselor which like babysitting my three nieces has also taught me how to responsible. Lastly I love hunting and am a member of the local gun club. This is pretty much who I am.

I'm a freshman at Pomeroy Junior/Senior High School. I maintain a good grade point average (4.0) while still being active in sports and also doing rodeo. I have a good work ethic and I love working on a team. I can also work on my own. I don’t have a lot of work experience with formal jobs but I have done a lot around my own home and I’ve helped my sister and her husband completely gut their house and then remodel it so I believe I have good work ethic and I am a fast learner. In the past I have also worked for a farmer doing various things, most of the work was on my own with just directions to follow so I do have experience with those situations also. I also have experience working long hours, so I am prepared to sacrifice my time for my job. I have been involved in FFA for the past year and I have also taken two years of pig 4-H. I do have priorities and school is the first right now, I have proven that I will put everything I can into what I am doing and a job would be the same way. This is who I am; I don’t have anything to hide so if you have any other questions I’m more than happy to answer them.

Well, the world of me is a dark and scary place. Just kidding I am friendly and always ready for a conversation. But, being a somewhat outgoing person, I also know when to hold my tongue (most of the time). I am a motivated high school student and have a growing enthusiasm for competition. In class I strive for the best I can do in the least amount of time. If I need to take more time into something to make sure it is PERFECT then I do so. I have a GPA of 3.75 and my favorite class is English. I am a member of the FFA, and plan to include myself in FBLA next year. I also am very active in high school sports. I play varsity volleyball and softball, I even participate in swim team out of school. I also got a junior varsity letter in basketball. I have a job at the Pomeroy City Pool as a lifeguard for the summer. To be able to do that job I will be CPR certified and also have lifeguarding credentials. I always have something to do, it keeps me out of trouble. I think this summarizes me in a very accurate measure.

I maintain a 3.8 grade point average while taking honors classes as well as staying involved with sports such as volleyball and track. I am also involved with FFA as well as a few other extra curricular activities. I have raised a hog for our local fair for the past seven years which I believe has taught me a great deal of responsibility. I think that another one of my strengths is being able manage my time and juggle several activities at once. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I work hard to do my best at everything I am involved with. I love working with people and I think that I interact with people really well. I have logged many volunteer work experience hours, mostly working directly with younger kids. I believe I am very organized, responsible and have a great work ethic. I am very willing to learn and enjoy challenges. I think that these skills make me a highly qualified applicant for this position.

Who am I?? I think that I am a hard working person who tends to take shortcuts. It is something I have been trying to stop and lately I have been cutting back on the shortcut taking. I love sports but I am not very good at them. I don’t like things being unfinished. If something is not fully done then I do my best to try and get it done. People have told me I am cocky but I think I am just more confident then most people. I also like being a good friend. I am not really ever very mean to people. I might joke around with my friends but I never really mean the bad things I say. I complain sometimes but that is just because I am trying to make it easier to do what I have to. I have been called a joker or class-clown. I try to keep everybody happy because I hate when people are sad or fight with each other. That might not be always good for a job but I do work my hardest when things have to be done. When something needs to be done then I do my hardest to get it done. People don’t always get along with me because I have a strong personality and people don’t always like that. It seems like I am saying all negatives but, these are all I can think of. That’s who I am.

Well, I don’t have the best work ethics; usually I wait till the last minute to do things. But, I do get them done on time. And usually, they are of good quality. I take my time when I do projects and try to make it be my best work. I over-think everything I do, meaning that I always try to make it my best. I’m very honest, very shy but honest as can be. I tell you the truth when you ask for it. I’m a great listener. Since I don’t talk very much I listen to a lot of things and usually remember it. I’m good at listening to directions, but I do make things harder than they are which has to do with over-thinking myself all the time. Other than when I over think myself, like I said, I am a pretty great listener. Things like listening to directions and taking notes are pretty simple tasks for me. I’m also, pretty fast at catching onto things, I’m a fast learner you just have to explain things in a way that is pretty simple and not a lot of different ways to do it. So if you tell me there are two ways to do a math problem, I’ll mix the two up and try to do it both ways at once. Anyways, those are some things I’m good at and some things that I have troubles with.

I would love to tell you about myself. I am a natural leader. I am the oldest child in my family and am often in charge. I have had a major clash with someone who didn’t want to follow my directions and I dealt with it to my best ability. I also like working outside. I have driven and operated tractors and enjoyed it very much. I have worked with my dad on his I can drive a vehicle, even though I am underage, I learned when I was eleven. I am very fair and will look at both sides of an argument before making a decision. Also I am very honest, I like to tell the truth. I have an ability to be a PR (public relations) person. I can get along with anybody until they show they don’t want to get along with me. I can talk to just about anyone and enjoy listening to someone explain about their day, year, or what ever they want to talk about. I have been on stage and have used a microphone. I don’t get stage fright or anxiety over being in front of people, but I am scared to death to talk on the telephone. I get along with most animals. Dogs and horses are my favorite, and I love making friends with them. I don’t like cats but get along with them just fine. However I cannot stand snakes, mice, or rats. I like watching and taking care of fish as well. I can take and follow directions. This is what I would like people to know about me.

I’m a hard worker and a very perseverant person. If I don’t do it right the first time I am willing to start over and do it again correctly. I’m very helpful and caring. Like when someone needs help with something or don’t understand I can help him or her with whatever the situation is. Responsibility is another quality that I have that I believe to be important. If you mess up and take responsibility for what you did or remember to do what you were told to do. When it comes to loyalty I have plenty of that. For example when my friends are being picked on by one another I would tell them to stop and behave. For trustworthiness I have a lot of that also. Many of my friends come to me with this his or her problems and when they tell me the deep stuff or things they don’t want people to know I that I will keep those secret to the grave. When my friends tell me these things it also shows how good of a listener I am. I can work on a team or by myself when needed to do so. I’m wiling to go up and beyond of that is excepted of me.

Well I can always get my work turned in if I understand what’s being asked sometimes I may not be able to finish but when I have to take a test in math I can prove to Mrs. Miller that even though I don’t finish all the homework assignments like am should I can usually get a B- A- witch is perfect for me. Am a hard worker during school and after I stay after school unlike most but some have a reason like riding the bus, but others that can walk could stay after and finish. I used to never stay after until my grades started to fall rapidly so I stayed in and I got the highest score in math. Am funny, always nice even when people really don’t want me around, my mom always told me treat someone how you want to be treated I learned that coming to Pomeroy you have to be nice to everyone in school and if you don’t since its such a small town every one knows you and were you live or have an idea of were, like Lewiston it didn’t really matter who you were nice to because not every one knew were you live. This school has changed the way I act well that’s a little bit about me

You are also trustworthy cause I’m sure that people come and talk to you all the time and you don’t tell anyone what they said. Over thinking isn’t always a bad thing. Like for projects it helps you go up and beyond what was required of you.

I am a hard worker, and will work until the job gets done, and I get very determined to get the job done right. I enjoy working with people and animals. When I make a promise to someone I do not let that person down. I work well with just about anyone. I try very hard to be accurate in my information and intelligence. I have a strong opinion and I stand by it. I am a good negotiator, and try to see things from everyone’s point of view and not just my own. I come from a big family so I can take care of a lot of people at once, and keep track and keep the kids out of trouble. I think very highly of my friends and family. I love challenges, and I also enjoy learning new things. I want a job and I would give the employer my very best work to prove I am the person for the job. I think I am a good leader because I try to get the job done, but most importantly get the job done right the first time, not the second or the fifth exc. I try to understand the needs of the job and the employer.

I like to think of myself as a person who is always loyal and likes to finish what I start. I am a respectful person and like to learn new things however don’t like being wrong. I can admit when I’m wrong but sometimes it’s hard. In stressful or emergency situations I am focused and easy going. I like to be a helpful kind of person as well if a job needs to be done to help someone ill jump in and make sure it gets done. Problem solving is not one of my strengths. I will eventually get the problem solved but it makes take me along time because I become frustrated with myself. Teamwork and cooperating with people is a strength I have however. I enjoy working in teams but don’t mind working alone as well. I am a leader and I think everyone would agree. I like to lead people in all kinds of events like sports and even in school. Doing the right thing is something I try to do all the time. Sometimes ill admit I haven’t done the right thing but learned my lesson from it after it happened which is a good thing. Hard working is probably my strongest ability; I like to get stuff done to the best of my abilities and the best it can be done.

Cody- I agree with you, you are a great person and its a good thing you enjoy working to earn your money. However if someone was looking to hire you I don't think you would get hired based on what you wrote about yourself. Things like annoying people probably aren't good things to put in your about me article.

I’m fifteen years old, I live in a small town called Pomeroy, and I currently attend Pomeroy Junior / Senior High School as a freshman. My favorite classes are English and Family Health and Wellness. I love the outdoors, which includes hiking, running, riding and just hanging out in the shade. One of my favorite things to do on my spare time is reading. Some of my favorite books series are; Eragon, The Ranger’s Apprentice, and Percy Jackson. I am also writing my own book called Lynn’s Mission, as well as one I haven’t named yet. My favorite movie is called Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron. I enjoy doing anything that has to do with animals, as I live on a farm with three miniature horses, a pony and a ‘big’ horse, as well as, dogs, cats and bunnies. I am a new member of FFA, but I have gone to state for first year CDE, and I plan on showing a pig this year. I consider myself a hard worker and am usually very persistent in everything that I do. I am a good cook and specialize in desserts. I am extremely loyal and have good work ethic, and I have had prior work experience.

Torrie Koller- You’re a pretty respectable person I agree with you on that. Your leadership isn’t horrible but I think it needs some improvement.

I am a person who can be a good worker, and that can have fun. I’ve lived in pomeroy my whole life. I am currently in the FFA. I show a steer every year at the fairgrounds. I am a current 4H councilor. I’ve been working for my dad since 2007. I can be an honest person and I can be serious. I like to hunt game out on my farm and in the mountains. I am not an athletic person but my favorite sports would have to be golf, and even though we don’t have bowling as a sport I still like to play them when I get to. I live with my dad but I get to go see my mom every other weekend. I can be really organized, and clean. I have lots of friends. I hate when people argue with teachers, and when students keep talking when the teacher is trying to talk. I recently got my drivers license, and I just turned sixteen. I like to go to fishing camp and elk camp with my dad and his friends. I like to baby sit my niece Haley when she comes over. My favorite school class would have to be science because we get to do lots of fun stuff in the lab. And that is all about me.

Evan Wolf- I agree with you about when people keep smacking their lips when they eat. That is really annoying. I think you should include what your favorite sport is to.

To tell you the truth, there isn’t much to say on the subject. Telling someone about yourself is like describing a computer. It has wires, its electronic, it needs repairing every so often. You get the general idea but you don’t know if you want it until you see it in action. I can say that I am a loyal person and I work well with people. I also can say that I am likeable, but that’s not a proven fact, especially if you meet me and don’t like me. I can say I am a hard worker, but it depends on the job at hand, and if I care about it or not. If someone were paying me for a job, of course I would do the best possible work that I could. I would make sure that I got the job completed in the right amount of time, even if I had to come in on my own hours. I think of my self as a driven person and an equally driven employee. I can get people to follow my directions and I am not a terrible leader. I am going for a chapter officer and I hope to get a position where I can lead and help the fellow members. I believe I would be well suited in a job environment.

Dustin, you are a nice guy and I wouldn't doubt that you changed after you came to Pomeroy, because so did I. Your one of the nicest people at Pomeroy and a lot of us are glad to be your friend.

I have a lot of big goals. Because of these goals, I am very determined and confident in myself. My expectations for myself are usually pretty high, and I always work hard to exceed them. When I want to do something, I always get it done, and I do a great job. I am a lot smarter than people probably think I am. I pay very close attention to detail. I love being creative, and I have a passion for all that is artistic. I could probably play guitar, paint, listen to music, or even just look at art all day long, and I would never get bored. I love that about myself. I am very unique. I work well with other people, but I probably work even better alone. I like working alone because I can do something exactly how I want it to be done. I am a very organized person. If I take sloppy notes, I always end up redoing them. Persuasion is also one of my skills. I am very easy to get along with. I try to be nice to everybody, no matter what. Being that one of my sisters has a stutter, and my that oldest brother has Asperger Syndrome, I know how to deal with different people and personality types, and I respect everybody.

I found these to be very interesting to read and yet in some cases very disappointing. Some of you thought it would be good to add funny comments or totally nonsense comments. Comments are closed.
