      "In talking to coworkers, I would say they would describe me as knowledgeable in both our products and software. I have people who are in roles I used to hold, frequently asking me how I would handle a situation they were in. They would also describe me as a doer as I will not just wait around for others, and I will take matters into my own hands and complete the project myself."

      Kevin's Feedback

      It’s great that you are a do-er and are willing to jump in and complete a project on your own. Be sure to also clearly express the fact that you can mentor others as well as pass the baton to the next person. It is rarely sustainable to take everything on yourself. Exhibiting your skills by delegating and working with your team, relying on them as they rely on you, is more of a collaborative team mindset than growing impatient and bearing the burden of the work because you got tired of waiting for the rest of the team to match your pace.
      "They’d say I was a reliable and knowledgeable resource. I frequently mentored my successors in roles I once held. They’d describe me as a doer as I frequently set an enthusiastic pace, leading by example, and think fast on my feet. You have to be resourceful in order to be a resource to others. I pride myself on being a clutch-player, and being available for any need that arises with the rest of the team. So, that’s what they’d likely say. He’s a clutch player, a mentor, and an awesome resource. A team leader is what they’d say."
