I believe that my greatest strength is my willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed. I was thrown into a payroll position because the payroll administrator moved on, and I took the challenge. I figured out a way to do both my jobs while still exceeding expectations for both my bosses.
I also believe my people skills, and my willingness to understand all aspects of a business is a strength. That includes working in the field when I was younger and seeing how the safety of the employee directly impacts the Health and Safety Administrator.
