GOOD EXAMPLE 1
Competition means everything to me
I have always enjoyed competing, whether it would be in sports, studies or other extracurricular activities. For example, in highschool I represented my school’s representative basketball team and enjoyed competing with other players. In my Ideal Job
Description, I stated that I would want to encounter a lot of competition in my occupation. This was consistent with results in the Work Value Inventory, where I scored 16/16 for ‘competition’ placing me in the 99th percentile for this category. Additionally, the Career-Anchors Self Assessment indicated that the ‘pure challenge’ component was one of my top career anchors, which possibly explains why I enjoy competing so much. For example, when I worked at <company name> as a credit-card agent, selling credit cards face-to-face was very daunting at first and required persistence in order to a make sale. However, I managed to step up to the challenge and was shortly after awarded for top sales made in a week. From my perspective, the more competitive and challenging the work is, the more rewarding it will be.
