"I am always willing to take on additional training or certifications. I listen intently to feedback from management and apply their suggestions directly to my work. For example, at XX company, my supervisor noticed I was struggling with prioritization. She asked if I would be interested in a free seminar on campus, and I jumped at the chance! It immediately proved beneficial, as it taught me valuable skills I could apply right away. My supervisor noticed I was much more relaxed and asked if the seminar helped, and I said that it certainly did! She then continued to forward me information on seminars, courses, etc. offered through the company and allowed me time to be away from my desk to take them."
