"I thrive in pressure situations and am looking forward to these situations at Boeing. My level-headed thinking and calm demeanor help me react well in pressure situations and help my team focus on the task at hand. In my first job out of college, we contracted with the military, and I was the main point of contact for many of our customers. With plans for projects changing regularly, I was trusted to make decisions over the phone on what could and couldn't be done. I had to be the expert on all of our processes, timelines, and costs."
