"I am an outside-the-box thinker and love creative solutions. I thrive on being given a problem with no apparent solution and being given the opportunity to dive into the issue, understand the ins and outs, what system is currently in place, and, if there is none, build that process from the ground up. I love collaborating with others in these situations but am just as happy to problem solve independently."
"I have been told by previous supervisors that I take the initiative in my work. I proactively work to sort out problems when they arise and work effectively in a team when necessary to fix an issue. During an end-of-year review with my boss last year, she commented on how much she appreciates the initiative and leadership I show when a stressful situation pops up."
"My colleagues often comment on my communication skills. They appreciate that I'm true to my word and follow up with any questions if I'm not sure about something. I'm not afraid to ask clarifying questions and discuss the next steps and deadlines to make sure everyone is on the same page."
