"I have to be extra thorough from time to time when I have especially detail-oriented clients. Often, this will mean spending additional time on calls with them to highlight project changes. I am okay with being extra thorough when needed."

I usually am always thorough in my job, but I am extra careful in case we have a demanding customer or employee who seeks additional details in the project. Also, at the time of any changes in the scope of work, I am thorough as any change can impact the timelines, cost, quality, resource requirement drastically.
