I know I have done similar blogs mentioning what I value as a person. I do think that I will recap on some in this blog but also mention some other ones. I believe mentioning your values to future employers is a good way to build trust and community between them and you. I think that mentioning not just your skills in an interview but also your values can put you in a stronger standing than others in that interviewing process. In this way, you show character and who you are as a person. And I think employers will value that. And that even if you are experienced, if your values or characteristics don’t match with the company and you won’t work well with everyone, they probably won’t want to hire you.
Some of the values that I have mentioned before are family and friends. I value my relationships with them and love to be with them. I think strong relationships help build a person’s character. I love every one of my friends and what they have done for me in my life, building my confidence and supporting me through my different stages of schooling. I value my family in all that they have done for me, they supported me growing up and built me into who I am today.
Some other things that I value as a person are kindness, loyalty, and respect. These are also some things that I value with family and friends. There are other things I also value, but these three are probably the most important to me. First, I believe kindness is one of the most important things a person can have. Being kind to others is such a broad term, but that’s just it. I believe in showing kindness to someone and not being. Of course, you don’t have to like everyone, but never disregard and ignore them just because you find them annoying.
Secondly, loyalty, I belive loyalty is an very import factor to have. Without loyalty, there is no trust. If you don’t trust someone that creates problems that are very tricky to deal with. Loyalty help create friendships and relationships that can be very benifical for you as a person and with company relationships.
Lastly, respect also goes along with being kind to others. I know there are a lot of different beliefs and ways people think in the world these days, and because of that, people don’t get along. But I believe that being able to respect someone for what they think is very important. That doesn’t mean you automatically have to think they are also right and disregard your values and beliefs as a person, but to respect them in their decisions and not try to force them to change their mind to be like you and only have them change on their own if they want on their own accord.
These are some of my many core values that I think are very important. Without these, I don’t think you can have very fulfilling relationships or even be a very successful or approachable individual. Not everyone needs to act the same, but I do believe people at least have a little. If you are always unkind, unloyal, and disrespectful, then you constantly push people away, and that is never good.
