How would your current manager describe you?
"I'm not currently employed, but I would say my most recent instructor in my program would describe me as responsible, professional, goal-oriented, and driven to succeed. I never missed class or was late; whenever we had assignments, mine were always turned in on time and with my best effort. I set very high standards for myself and ended up finishing near the top of my class in grades and performance."
"In past annual reviews, I was consistently rated high in being team-oriented. I'm always willing to do what it takes to get the job done and for me and my team to be successful. No task is below me, and I believe in supporting everyone in order to support the greater goals of the organisation. Even though I was not in a leadership role, in my last position, I volunteered to serve as a "peer guide mentor," and spent time weekly with new hires helping them navigate through onboarding and getting acclimated and trained."
