BUAD 2000 VIPS Worksheet Due 3/27/16 by 11:59 p.m. in the Blackboard Assignment Drop Box-- Late assignments are not accepted 44 Points Introduction The journey to a fulfilling career begins with self-assessment. In this assignment we will explore the four components of self-assessment: Values, Interests, Personal Qualities and Skills (VIPS for short). Self-identifying what our Values, Interests, Personal Qualities, and Skills are enables us to understand the “whys” behind our career decisions. Moreover, we are ultimately better prepared to respond to an employer’s questions about our motivation for pursuing a position within a given company, and why we believe we would be the best “fit” for the assignment. Effective resumes, job search correspondence, interview responses, or LinkedIn profiles cannot be composed/prepared without having a solid awareness of our values, interests, personal qualities, and skills. Grading Note In situations where more than 1 point is possible for this assignment, responses are evaluated using a scale of Needs Improvement, Acceptable, and Excellent. The scale will be 0 to 3 or 0 to 10. Task Using the BUAD 2000 VIPS Inventories located on pages 3 and 4, identify your top three Interests, Skills, Values, and Personal Qualities. List each of the top three below. (12 points) Interests Skills Values Personal Qualities 1 2 3 2. Select one from each category.

(3 points for each of the four responses for a total of 12 points) Responses are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 3; 0 to 1 = Needs Improvement, 2 = Acceptable, 3 = Excellent. 1.

Now, select one of the four above, and compose a brief paragraph describing why you believe this particular interest, skill, value or personal quality would be desired by an employer. Approach this task like you were preparing for an interview. If an employer were to ask you to explain why your selected value, interest, personal quality, or skill is of benefit, what would you say? The more effort you apply to your response, the more you will learn about yourself and the way you will promote yourself to employers. (Use the space after the directions to compose your thoughts). Your response should be no fewer than five sentences, and no more than 10. (10 points) 0 to 4 = Needs Improvement, 5 to 9 = Acceptable, 10 = Excellent. Ten points are available for a ...
