How would you ultimately describe your work style?
"I have a well-planned and highly mapped out working style. Before I leave work for the day, I ensure that my following day is good to go! I like to come to work in the morning feeling organized, and in control. Being an administrative assistant, this level of preparedness is always welcome by my employer."
"You could describe my work style as highly collaborative. It's cheesy, but I do believe that there is no "I" in "team" and I lead my department with that mantra in mind. Everyone's roles matter and so I make decisions based on the good of the group, and never with only myself in mind."

"I have an adaptive work style that changes based on the customers that I am serving at the time. I like to work with my customers' personalities and needs. If they are the no-nonsense, busy corporate type, then I speed up my work. If they are elderly and need more time, I slow down to explain everything they need to make a decision."
"My work style is best described as independent. Once I understand the goal in mind, I am ready to take on all aspects of the project on my own. I take feedback well, of course. I am great with using the resources given to me to make deals happen."
"I am very focused on the overall picture when I am working. As an educator, I try not to become hung up on the tiny details, but rather the blanket success of a lesson plan, a student's general improvement, or the big picture result."

I like to get a clear plan together before I start to ensure that I reach a set goal by a specific date. I then want to break it down to a task list, setting weekly goals. I note what is expected of me in terms of deliverables, deadlines, and meetings, so I'm on track, also, if there is someone else depending on getting completed work from me.
