How would your most recent manager describe you?
"My last manager and I had a close relationship. She appreciated all of my efforts when it came to working overtime and taking my work home when required. I believe she would describe me as unique, reliable and energetic."
"My manager and I get along well. He valued my depth of knowledge as a senior budget analyst and gave me the freedom to do my job how I wanted, as long as I got the job done. I think he would tell you that I am dedicated and will go the extra mile to deliver results."
