In this interview, my friend Philip talks about how my socioeconomic status puts me at an advantage over some others. He says that it will make other wealthy businessmen more likely to want to work with me.

In this interview, my floor mate Riley talks about how my kindness makes me stand out from other people. He said that this will make people trust me and and want to work with me in the future.


Reflect on the differences. How do you see yourself, and how do others see you? Are there differences in how you assess yourself compared to others? What do you think causes these differences? Do you think your interviewees are correct about you? Finally, going back to your list from part 1, would you make any corrections to the list? How?

I see myself similarly to what the people above me have said, though I don't think I'm as wealthy as Philip lets on. I try to be someone that people like to be around. I generally agree with what my interviewees said about me. I don't think I would make any corrections

  1. Ryan,

    I think your friends had really nice things to say about you and all are traits that will help you stand out professionally. I think it's funny your friend mentioned your socioeconomic status, however, that's not considered a trait and doesn't who you are as a person. When I was interviewing the five closest people to me, I found it so interesting that they also described me the way I would describe myself. I think that's important because it shows you have good judgement of how you come off to others.

  2. Being someone that people like to be around with is great, as long as one can keep being professional and being yourself is the most important thing. It is great that you concluded that you have a great judgement of yourself and it is comparable to what your interviewees had stated. I really like what Riley had said. Kindness is a great quality that you rarely see in people, and it does help create trust with others that surround you. I share that quality too according to the people that I interviewed. One comment they did was to be careful on how kind and generous one is due to the fact that people in general can take advantage of one.
