"I like to keep busy, so if the workflow is slow, I would ask my supervisor if they needed anything. If they did not or were not in the office, I would ask other team members or leaders if I could help with something."

"I would take that time to make sure all files are organized properly, help out the office manager by checking the supply room to ensure it is stocked, check the kitchen for outdated items, and ask others if I could help them with anything."
