Goals I Have Set For Myself

TIME MANAGEMENT: Get tasks given to me done on time and not getting distracted doing something else. Have a schedule for what is going to get done during the day and sticking to it. Prioritize the things that are most important and urgent. Group similar tasks together to get the most out of your time.

SELF-CONFIDENCE: Be sure of yourself when working. It will show your employer that you take pride in your work and know what you are doing. Will also improve your quality and speed of work, won't be double checking and doubting yourself cause you know what you are doing.

LISTENING: Maintain eye contact with whoever you are talking with. Really visualize what the speaker is saying and don't interrupt them, wait for a pause then ask questions to clarify anything you did not understand.
