优点 缺点
My strengths are that I am self-disciplined, responsible, and persistent.
Since I have worked for seven years, I have developed a strong sense of responsibility and a practical way of thinking. Once I set a goal, I will keep working on it and try my best to finish it well. I am also good at communication and teamwork, because in my previous work I often needed to cooperate with different people.
For my weakness, I think sometimes I pay too much attention to efficiency. In the workplace, this is helpful, but in academic study, I think that I need to spend more time on theory and deeper thinking.
