"There are a couple of work-related accomplishments that come to mind. During my recent annual performance review, my director commended me for being so flexible and adaptable over the last year and a half during a pandemic. Our team was under immense pressure when we had a drastic amount of turnover and I had to help lead the way in several projects I hadn't previously been working on. While I'm not a person that needs a pat on the back, it was very humbling to be recognized personally by them. I've also collected a number of comments that I've received from my colleagues that I work with on a daily basis. From my first day on the job, they've always appreciated my honesty, knowledge, and friendly personality."
