When I think about how I would place myself in a non-profit organization, my mind instantly goes to oral communication and leadership. I find that I’m very comfortable in social settings, and therein feel very comfortable, or perhaps even compelled, to initiate and take-part in group discussion, and also speak to groups of people – outside of my own group, perhaps during presentations, interviews, or meetings. Along with this, I think one of my strengths is working with others: I enjoy the collaborative process, and find work to be richer, more rewarding and more fun when working as a team.
I am a decent writer, but still have a lot to work on. And I’m decently organized, but can often find it hard in a busy day to be accommodating to the schedules of others. I can, at times, be analytical, but I’m mostly driven by vision and goals. Therein, I like to work backwards: identifying the final goal, and determining/illuminating the necessary steps to get there.
As far as weaknesses go, I’m not very good with technology, and can sometimes find it frivolous and immaterial to get bogged down into the tech side of work. I would much rather do the work of brainstorming, writing, etc.
