 Today we looked at resources to define our pitch. Resources include hard and soft skills, what I am most proud of myself for, which last class blog, I mentioned my volunteer experience. I think what makes me different is that I am determined to make both the company and employees have satisfaction, when it comes to Human Resources. I care about everyone without effort, but potential beliefs that may hold me back are not having that sort of power. We worked on putting a pitch together, and this is what I came up with:


To Whom It May Concern,

Problem-solving is at the heart of my approach, whether it’s resolving workplace conflicts, improving team dynamics, or optimizing recruitment processes. With two years of hands-on Human Resources internship experience, I thrive in environments that challenge my ability to think critically and adapt quickly. My organizational skills allow me to manage multiple priorities without losing sight of the bigger picture, ensuring that each task is completed efficiently and effectively.

What sets me apart is my dedication to fostering a balance between the success of both the company and its employees. By actively listening to both sides, I can create solutions that drive essential growth, increase morale, and enhance overall productivity.

In my previous role, I was able to contribute to key HR functions, such as talent acquisition, employee engagement, and implementing revision to company policies.

I am driven by the belief that a strong, well-supported workforce is the key to a company’s long-term success, and I look forward to bringing that mindset to future opportunities.

Thank you for your time and consideration to review my resume. I look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Purdy

Today's class was a success, as I did not even have a pitch created before!

Barcelona Experience

My Barcelona experience really has been a once in a lifetime opportunity, which I will forever be grateful for. It started out a bit rough, if I am being honest, as I had difficulty adjusting to a new environment, let alone a new country! I thought it would be easy for me, since I already attend a University in the U.S. 10 hours from home, but I underestimated my fears. My airline also lost my luggage for the first week I was here, and my class schedule got messed up, so I was in a "full-on panic mode" when I got here. What didn't help was that I came here with high expectations, hearing about how great other peoples experiences were abroad. It didn't help that my roommates all knew each other prior and already had an established group, so I felt lonely and defeated. However, I knew I only got to live in another country for a limited time, so I didn't let that impact my experience. Although it was rough at first, I managed to make some new friends, some of which I...

One Competence: Collaboration

  One competence I have developed during these three months is collaboration. We have done many group exercises where we had to come up with an agreement, come up with solutions or business designs, and make decisions together. Even on individual assignments, we would collaborate with classmates to receive feedback. This will help with my career management, as my past internships have consisted of mostly individual or partner work, so now I have gained experience working as a team for a business-related project. This has also provided me with insight on hearing and learning about other people's experiences and ideas, to give me exposure to how other businesses may operate. Collaboration is also very important for innovation and maintaining strong company culture, two areas I may have to manage one day. Overall, I have enjoyed working with various classmates within this course, and am looking forward to apply my enhanced collaboration skills to my future career.

  Today we got into groups to define leadership. Our definition was “the ability to guide and influence others to work toward a common goal or vision.” We then went over what leadership is, learning definitions from CEO’s of different companies, all which varied. We then discussed the question whether or not leaders are born or made. In my personal opinion, I think leaders can be both. There are people born with natural traits that are meant for leadership, but there are skills people can practice and obtain to become a leader as well. Two other classmates seemed to have the same viewpoint as me. We then watched a video, where we learned what challenges a leader faces, which includes making tough decisions and deciding between what is right and what is popular. After, we did a group activity, where we were stranded on an island and we could only choose three items. We chose an axe, first aid kit, and radio. Our reasoning was that axes can be used to make shelter, cut food, and buil...
