"In my last performance review and also in some casual discussions, my manager has described me as motivated, encouraging to others, and consistent in my work. I strive to exceed expectations when I can, and I encourage my fellow team members to deliver their best work. My current manager is happy to speak on my behalf as a positive reference should you want to talk with him."

"I believe my current manager would describe me as eager to help and eager to learn. I work hard to complete my work with a high level of quality, and I am always asking if there is more that I can do. I use any downtime I have to learn something new, or help out a fellow coworker. I look forward to approaching my work here at Boeing with the same eager spirit and commitment to quality."

"My current manager would describe me as a utility player with subject matter expertise in a wide range of subjects. He knows I have engineering experience working with a multitude of technologies, and he often asks for my assistance with difficult problems and ambiguous tasks."

"I believe my manager would describe me as detail oriented and thoughtful. I take the time to sift through the details of each process, dataset, and scenario I analyze. I have a keen eye, and I am skilled at finding themes within complex datasets. In regards to thoughtful, my manager knows I approach all of my clients and teammates with kindness and empathy. I take the time to listen and I work with them to find the best possible solution available. I feel these same qualities will be a valuable asset to my teams here at Boeing in the event I am selected for the open position."

"Based on my most recent reviews and conversations, I think my manager would say that I am a solid leader and trustworthy project manager. I have been asked to step in a rescue two separate failing projects within the past year. There were sensitive team and client conflicts on each project. My manager felt confident that I would be able to step in and address the problems within each team while simultaneously smoothing over the client issues. I was able to keep everyone's confidence while finding a way to get each of the projects back on track."

"I believe my manager would describe me as curious. I am usually the guy who asks most of the 'why?' questions in a meeting. It is important to me to understand the why behind any solution I build as it helps me to think from the end user perspective and build additional quality into my deliverables. I would apply the same methods here at Boeing to ensure that the solutions I design are a fit for the needs of those that use them."
