However, according to the Clifton Strength Assessment, my top five strengths are empathy, ideation, intellection, developer, and analytical. I would describe empathy as understanding how others feel and think. I feel like empathy is important especially when you are working in a team as you are able to better understand where a person is coming from. I use empathy when I am working with other people for a group project as I often listen to their ideas and understand where they come from. Empathy will also be important for my job as it will help me build stronger connections with others. I would describe ideation as being creative with various ideas. I feel like ideation is important when you need to create new ideas such as working on pitching a business plan to investors. Ideation also helps create new ideas and generates creativity. I use ideation when I need to create ideas for a club as I have to plan and create events. I would describe Intellection as thinking deeply about a certain topic. I feel like Intellection would be important when you are unsure about an important decision. I use Intellection when making important decisions on a project such as what to include in the project. Intellection will be important in my future career as I will probably have to make some big decisions in my career. I would describe being a developer as helping people grow as leaders. I feel like being a developer would be important when you are coaching someone on a certain task. Being a developer is important to help

people when you a person wants to improve themselves but does not know how. I am a developer in my club as I help new members grow and feel included in the club. Being a developer will be important when training new members of a company. I would describe being analytical as trying to prove something is true. I feel like being analytical would be important when proving a certain point in the research. Being analytical would be important to point out certain trends. I am analytical when trying to solve certain projects by finding the best solution. Overall, I feel I have many strengths will help me in my career long term.

Sumedh Chavarkar MGMT 295  4/25/2023 Future Plans Goals I am not sure what type of industry I want to work in since I am only a freshman and I want to learn more about each industry. However, I am interested in working for a biotech company or a big company such as Coca- Cola. I am interested in these industries since there are so many things I can do that I would like to explore more.  Some challenges I expect to face would be competition for many jobs as there will be many talented applicants by the time I graduate. There also might not be a good economy due to a potential recession. I will withstand these challenges by applying to different jobs in different areas as I will have a higher chance of getting a job with more chances.  Many companies require a certain GPA and major for an internship. I feel like I have a good GPA and major that will help me achieve my goals. Jobs also are also looking for good communication and leadership skills which is something that I have developed for the years as I have participated in many activities at Purdue as I am going to be an officer in one of my clubs next semester. I need to practice working in a team as I have not had many group projects throughout high school as there is much more group work in college. I plan on getting an internship for Summer of 2024 and 2025 to improve my chances at getting a job as I will get more work experience. I also plan on joining 1 to 2 more clubs in order to create more connections and getting some more experience in my major. I also plan on utilizing resources at Purdue to help me improve my resume such as peer consulting.
