What I am Bringing to the Table

Some of the skills that I learned at Year Up that will add value to E-Bay is using my LAMP stack skills I have developed from TAOS practice leaders. As for the QA skills that I learned, I hope to put my problem solving, critical thinking, and identify bugs skills into use that will add value. Before Year Up, I managed to build my own computer, so that should also take me a long way in my career.

When arriving to E-bay, the first set of skills I would display is my interpersonal communication skills while maintaining a positive attitude and professionalism. By displaying professionalism and interpersonal communication skills, this will help me build a network and mentors within the company to help me succeed that may help me get a job a contractor or even a full-time position.

To stand out at E-Bay, I will come to work with a positive attitude, maintain professional, and go above and beyond of what was asked. I really would like to add value, so I will be giving it my best everyday. Also, I would go around other departments to learn more about the company and to keep soaking up as much knowledge as I can that would help leverage my chances of getting hired.

These past six months at Year Up, I have practiced being dependable, positive, and eager. I have taken almost every opportunity that came my way; all while working  a second job and extra LAMP stack course. Although I received my first infraction last week, I have gone through the whole learn and development phase without getting one, and still to this day I get to Year Up at 7:30 almost everyday even when it starts at 8:30. Now that I am going to a big company, I will keep the same standards, if not, I will go above that. Even with personal problems or outside issues and stress I deal with daily, I am so focused that no matter the situation, nothing is going to stop me from being successful; that is what keeps me positive everyday.
