“I would say I’m…”
1. “Someone who has
high expectations for my results. I am confident in my ability to produce, and
while I prepare for the worst, I do the work necessary to tilt the odds so that
the best will happen.”
2. “Someone who wants
to be judged by individual performance and rewarded for my efforts based on my
ability to execute.”

to work for a successful company with strong leadership and vision, one that
recognizes and rewards performers.”

is consistently growing and takes the time to continue learning even though it’s
not a direct requirement of the job. I find that many times, my professional
growth is based on what I study, both directly and indirectly related to work.”
5. “Someone who is
modest, hard-working and consistently sets firm goals for myself. Then, once
I’ve defined my benchmarks, I take the necessary steps to achieve those milestones.”

concerned with clients’ needs—consistently asking questions to uncover the what
the client truly wants and then making sure I’m able to meet those
requirements.”

tasks. I’m not an individual who needs to be micromanaged. Rather, when given a

the problem in an autonomous manner.”

a situation to control me.”

well in my job and have a successful career, as well as to make the company I
work for more competitive.”

person who meets challenges head-on rather than sweeping them under the rug and

the current situation and how satisfactory or unsatisfactory it is.”
11. “Someone who has been able to not only meet my employers’
expectations, but has consistently exceeded those markers.”
12. “Someone who takes
responsibility for their actions when things go wrong. I
don’t look for outside forces to blame; rather, I’m someone who looks at what I
can improve upon the next time around. Pointing fingers solves nothing.”
13. “Someone who demonstrates an unwavering resolve to do
whatever must be done to produce the best long-term results, no matter how
difficult.”

puts aside personal gain for the well-being of the group.”

ethics very seriously. I do what I am paid for, and I do it well.”

the complexity of advanced project management. It’s not just pushing triangles
on a GANTT chart; it’s about getting everyone to sit down together and to agree
