Just in case i get a job interview.

Tell me about yourself.

Well, I am Eleanor Cortez. Friends call me Eli. Some people take that as a boy's name. What the hell. Ive been using that since 5th grade HAHA. I am a very sociable person. A friend of mine calls me everyone's bestfriend. I am easy to get along with. EASY i tell ya. I have a few to say about other people. I am not judgmental. I simply observe. I am a good listener. I rarely talk. Im better with writing.

So anyway, did I mention that I am sociable? HAHA. I love attending parties because I love dressing up. and meeting people too, i guess. But a major part of it, is still the dressing up part.

I love music just as much I love myself. I love dogs just as much I love music. Speaking of love, I am single and sometimes, readily available lol! I am a hopeless romantic. I love cheesy stuff. lol (pwedeng literally kasi I love cheese too!) I am pretty much motivated when I am inspired. I get inspired when I am in love but since I am not, I use myself as my own inspiration, aside from my parents. Teehee.

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

My strength would be the fact that I am a good communicator. As I have said I am a sociable person even though I rarely talk. With our line of work, it is important that you know how to deal with people. I am also a good listener and a fast learner. I am very flexible and I don't have problems working with groups. I easily get along well with whoever I work with.

My weakness is that I am sensitive. But I use this sensitivity constructively, and be aware of what others think of me and then get right back on track. I panic easily, but I can compose myself together and get things done.

How can you be an asset to our institution?

First of all, the fact that I am a graduate of Chinese General Hospital College of Nursing is already a big plus. (big grin) Because we all know that it is well known for giving high quality nursing education. I am an asset to this institution because I am disciplined, I am committed and passionate.

Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

Ive always dreamed of living in New York. And honestly, 5 years from now, I see myself working and happily stable in New York. Dont get me wrong, but we all have our preferences right? I would really love to work there and I believe that working in this institution will help me to be better, more competent and fully equipped to the best of my abilities and eventually be the best nurse that I can be to be able to make it well there.

Rate yourself, with 10 being the highest.

I won't rate myself as a perfect 10 because I can't please everyone. I'm pretty average so I'll start with a 6. But because I trust myself with this line of work, I'll add 1 point which would make it a 7. And because I'm a good learner and I'm willing to learn, I'll add another point, which makes it 8. And lastly, because I'm a Chinese Gen graduate where students are smart, skilled and disciplined, I am, therefore, a 9. HOHO!

CConfidence and Flattery is the key. HAHA! I think. Lol
