    If you completely commit to your job, people know you are up for commitement.
    If you do your job good, people know you are a good employee.
    You should do your job the best you can do, someday that job may help your chances of getting a job.(:

    Really, if an artist is wanting to portray his or her feelings, or what they feel they use their painting, or drawing. They use their skills to show what they feel through their work. Mimicking and shadowing their own personality, giving a self portrait through their work and reflecting themselves.

    I think that it measn how you do your job reflects alot about a person. Also that you should do your very best at wahat you do. For example if you mess up and do a bad job some people might think that you are a bad person because of how you did your job.

    I think that quote means doing your job is like painting a portrait of yourself. You wouldn't want to make your self look bad, would you? You would put time and effort into the portrait, that's how you should do your job. Autograph your work with excellence I believe means do everything in your power to do your job perfect, people will notice your work just like they would an autograph.

    Well your job is just like your school work and going to school because if you are very good at it, it reflects on you and how good your doing. It also tells you how good of a worker you are. If you finish you are putting your name on it and that is what makes you.

    Everything that we do shows what type of person you are. If you work hard it shows good character. If your lazy it shows bad character.

    Every job is a self portrait of the person who does it. You should autograph your work with excellence because everything you do will show people how you work. You need to work as hard as you can and try to do the best you can. Your work will always show how you work and that will be how people look at you.

    I definantly agree with this quote. Through a person's job, you gain insite into who the person is. You can tell a person's work ethic, character, decision making skills and a lot more through their work. A teacher is one example. You can tell a lot about a techer by the way they conduct themselves in class, how they treat their students, and how they interact with others.

    It is saying that you should do your best on every job you do. Even if its not the job you want to do. If you give the best you do on other jobs you will stand out and get the job you want some day.

    I think that means that what you make of your career is who you are.So you should do something that you love doing more than anything. Like me I plan on being an English teacher and a part time Author.

    i think this means that how much effort and dedication you put into your work is a reflection of what type of person you are. so if you autograph your work with excellence then you are trying to do your best. you are also showing other people if you strive for excellence.

    Your job is what you make of it. If you always complain and show up late and dont do your job correctly your going to hate it. But if you take pride in your job and care about it as much as you do everything else. Like my job, im a CNA and if i dont do everything correctly and safely then someone would end up getting hurt and then that looks bad on my part and im trying to help people get batter not make them hurt more.

    I guess it is just
    saying that you should
    always work hard. they
    way you work and
    what you do makes an
    impression of who you are.
    Therefore, you should
    always work your hardest.

    What people generally choose to do is kind of a look of what is on the inside. They choose things to so that are something they like or that is interesting to them. That causes it to act like a window to their inner person.

    I think that an artist would be a good example because if you asked them to paint a picture to describe themselves it would more than likely be very colorful and artistic. Also like a cosmotoligist would more than likely have his or her hair always done and have it all pretty and colored because they know what looks good!

    I dont have a job, but I do have many leadership roles that I have obtained over my four years at MV. My leadership roles have given me many great opportunities and I have made many friends. My freshman year I was quite shy and now that I am a senior I am definetly not shy. Not one bit.

    Your work tells a lot about who you are. You should try your best to do your best at what you do. I work at a snow cone place. It's pretty fun, almost all the flavors are awesome :D. I like snow cones and I like people so it fits me.

    Most jobs people do are things they love or hate. When you do a job you love it shows a part of you in your daily work. Hopefully when i get a job it will be something i love so i can show myself through my work.

    it means whatever you do for a living reflects how you are perceived. Your character is based on how you perform at the job. This phrase also means whatever you do, do it at your best. Adrian Peterson performs at a very high level. He lives the high life.

    My work is always done to the best of my ability. Everything I do, I always try my hardest to make it the best it can be. When I do my homework for example, I always try my hardest and take time to look up the answers so I know I get them right.

    This means to try your hardest. Everything you do is a reflection of you. Do everything with excellence so thats how you are portrayed. Adrian Peterson tries his hardest during his football games therefore people think he is a very good player.

    You should go in to every situation in life determined to do your best. Your effort is a reflection on how serious you take the job. Doing your personal best at everything you do is the best way to go through life.

    Depending on how you do your job tells a lot about a person. If you are a hard worker, you'll do a good job at things. If your not a good worker and don't try at your job, how does that make you look like a good person?

    i think that it means that how you do your jib reflects what kind of person you are. For example if you work hard it shows that you like to do think right and dont quite. like if i were to send out a bad pizza from our store, that would show that we dont really care about the customer.

    your work ethics kind of describe your personality. you can show up for work and be responsible, greet your customers, do a good job. or you can be late, slack and be irresponsible, and just not do anything. that shows alot about the person who does the job.
