When interviewing, one common question is, “What are some of your weaknesses?” If you have learned from any professional, you know that you should turn that weakness into a strength. In my situation, I have always struggled with sales and a little bit of phone anxiety. On a side note, I am also a second semester senior only taking 12 credit hours and I had more free time than I knew what to do with. I decided it was time for me to get a job on campus. I had applied to multiple, but nothing ever came out of them. My best friend works at Rallyline, which consists of contacting alumni and keeping them involved on campus. I applied for the job and got it, but I knew this was going to be a step outside of my comfort zone. After working there for the past two months, I could not be more thankful for this experience. I took a leap of faith and I am now more comfortable selling and speaking on the phone. Not only do I get the opportunity to work with my best friend nine hours a week, but I also made my weakness a strength.\u00a0<\/p>\n
