      The above example shows how you are aware of your strength and how you also value the area where you are weaker. They go together. Not everyone can do both. By sharing a thoughtful explanation, you show self awareness and your ability to articulate and reflect.

      "I would easily describe myself as a detail-oriented person. I'm always paying attention to pieces that people might not notice that attribute to an event's success, such as the temperature of the room or creating a brochure of local activities for travelling attendees. It's very easy for me to step back and see how an event is successful, but the details are, in my opinion, what makes the experience more impactful."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      Temperature is a perfect example of looking out for the small details. It's evident that you care about each event, and you approach your planning by thinking of an attendee's 360 needs and desires. Well done!
