It is necessary to have good speaking skills. This is where I have trouble. I have a hard time speaking to other people or in front of a large group. I get nervous and start mispronouncing words or stuttering. Speaking skills are important to have for this profession because Nutritionist have to speak to client’s everyday about their health and nutrition plans. It is necessary to good reasoning, logic, and critical thinking skills. Possessing good coordination skills, reading and comprehension skills, and being an active listener are all necessary skills that a good Nutritionist must have. In this profession you must be supportive and respectful to your clients. I am a positive person. I think that is an important personality trait to have. You have to be positive while working with other people. People sense that and it helps motivate them to do better and to continue with the process. My career goals. My short term goal is to continue my education in nutrition. I want to learn more about our bodies and how they function when we put certain things into them. My long term career goal is to finish school and to start my career as a Licensed Nutritionist. I want to use this knowledge that I gain to make a positive impact on others health. One day I hope to open up my own nutrition clinic or maybe even open up my own gym and work as fitness and nutrition
