Whats your Secret Sauce?


  • Very analytical with deciphering patterns and numbers
  • Business oriented and always looking for opportunities to exploit
  • Extremely focused and dedicated when it comes to completing tasks or trying to achieve goals
  • Motivated by competition
  • Strong ability to pick up on or learn new skills

Interview 1 Eric
Eric believes that I am very loyal, caring, and understanding. He referenced the one time we were playing in an IM basketball game and he twisted his ankle. I immediately ran over and ended up taking him to the hospital to get crutches.

Interview 2 Franco
Franco claims that what sets me apart is that I am good at problem solving by picking apart a situation and finding the best way to go about solving the issue. Franco mentioned that when an issue arises and he needs advice, I am the first person that pops into his head. 

Interview 3
Manny Praised my self-discipline and ambition as he claims that my ability to lock myself in a room and solely focus on completing one specific yet onerous task is "admirable."

Interview 4
The first thing that Aiden mentioned was that my personality combined with my confidence creates a likable aura that people want to be around. This was probably the nicest thing any of the interviewees said (in my opinion)

Interview 5
Dylan said that I make a great team player and know how to bring the best qualities out of my peers. Also, praised my leadership skills as he claims that our friend group relies on me to give "direction."

While I mostly focused on qualities that mainly affect me, such as my analytical skills or ability to learn new things, my friends that I interviewed focused on mentioning qualities that impacted them in some way. Bottom line is, I realized that I am the most selfless person in my friend group and my view of what makes me different is slightly different to what my peers view as my unique selling points.

  1. Hello James,
    It seems to me that you have a good group of friends and that you are very sensible towards them or anyone. Its a great quality to be selfless because that make others trust in you. I am happy for you and its great that you are apart of a group of friends that think so highly of you.

  2. Hey James,
    I think it is great that all of your friends focused on qualities that impacted them in some way. Your friends being able to explain specific examples of how your qualities have influenced and impacted them shows a lot about you in a good way. I think all of the points you listed out in your "secret sauce" is the key to being successful.

  3. Hey James!
    I like how you mentioned that the friends you interviewed focused on qualities of yours that impacted them rather than qualities that affect yourself. Because of this there were some different qualities mentioned by your friends that you did not include in your original list. This is a good thing and shows that you have many values and can be useful in many different situations.
