Journal 6:  At your internship, what are some of your strengths and weaknesses? Are there specific skills that are required to do your job? Have you had to learn any new skills?  What do you contribute to your internship?  What are some difficulties you’ve had?

Strength and Weaknesses, well, I would say that being tall is a strength. I’m very useful because while they need me to reach high places and put things on high places such as toys, food, and other various dog supplies. I can still be a helpful person in other ways. Like taking out the trash, re-stocking cans and walking dogs. Some of my weaknesses may be that sometimes I’m a little too energetic and sometimes that gets on people’s nerves, mainly my co-workers. As far as skills go, I would have to say that having good people skills is good. Also being able to talk to customers, lightening up the mood, and being able to help people purchase stuff while sometimes also getting them to buy a little extra if they need it or not. Some things(difficulties) that have gotten in my way before are customers. I am talking about rude, mean, and obnoxious people that come into the store. I hate when that happens. I talk to them as casually as I would with nice costumers.
