"When I leased apartments for an apartment complex, our goal was to reach 100% occupancy during the busy months. Each of us contributed to every lease. I made a point to make the most of every interaction with a potential customer, being consistent and always providing outstanding service with a smile. My coworkers and I made a pact to be encouraging and supportive of each other, checking in during our weekly meetings to see how we can help each other reach our goals. That summer, my leasing team reached 100% occupancy each month!"

"Having been a part of team-based sports and activities growing up, I think the best example is when I was part of a group band competition where a small trio wrote and performed our material at a regional competition. As a saxophone player, I collaborated with a trumpet player and a cellist to write a fascinating piece that won second place. We all had equal input and idea-sharing abilities as we wrote the music, and it was a great experience I will bring with me into my career at the USPS."
