"In the past few years, the biggest skill I gained was the ability to multitask as an employee and student. Additionally, I have a strong grasp of time and how long it takes to accomplish a task. So, further improving this well-developed skill has allowed me to excel in my education while working full-time. I quite capably balanced these responsibilities. In addition to my multitasking abilities and strong time management skills, I also pride myself on my curiosity. Expanding the breadth of my knowledge is important to me, and I did that academically. My curiosity motivates me, and my attitude toward learning keeps me humble and hungry to learn."

"If I had to choose three top skills, I'd first say I'm an effective communicator. I'm also personable. I've always been a people person and work well with others. I'm a strong mentor and a great coach. At my current job, I work with a team of six people, all of whom I've trained. Together, we've developed a top-notch strategy for communicating and divvying up tasks. I also am very emotionally grounded and known for my self-accountability and self-management. I take my commitments very seriously and feel confident in my ability to deliver."

"I am great at showcasing my leadership potential. Previous supervisors have told me that I show initiative in my work. I proactively work to sort out problems when they arise and work effectively in a team when necessary to fix an issue. During an end-of-year review with my boss last year, she commented on how much she appreciates the initiative and leadership I show when a stressful situation pops up. My colleagues often comment on my communication skills. They appreciate that I'm true to my word and follow up with questions if I'm unsure about something. I'm not afraid to ask clarifying questions and discuss the next steps and deadlines to make sure everyone is on the same page. But most of all is my sense of teamwork and collaboration. I define my success by evaluating the part I've played in helping the rest of my teams succeed."
