4. This is what I know…
• Sometimes the tiniest detail can have the largest
impact, even worse sometimes it is what isn’t in the
details that is important, from a missing phone
number to a missing space.
Our reputation is in the details!
6. • I have often been described as an out of
the box thinker. I don’t understand how
people’s thoughts got boxed in, in the first
place!
• My brain generates new ideas and
engages in problem solving even on a
subliminal level. Once engaged on a
project my brain will continue working on
the project even when I am sleeping!!!
I probably shouldn’t write this, but I have come
up with more great ideas in the bathroom then
most people do in their whole lives.
8. This is what I Know…
• Communication is vital in order to execute a project to
the best of our abilities and I would value the ideas,
input and constructive feedback of a great team.
• In my latest position I was responsible for researching
and determining the proper procedures that should be
followed for every variable that may come up in a
customer care department of a worldwide conferencing
center. I created an online policy and procedure
resource manual with step by step visuals. I enjoyed the
team atmosphere the customer care agents share and
have found some of their feedback not only has proven
invaluable, but has helped me grow and learn new
programs I would never have considered as a resource.
10. This is what I know…
• I am too complex to profess to understand
myself, but as far as personality goes, I believe I
am somewhat similar to a chameleon.
• Contrary to what most people believe,
Chameleons do not change color to camouflage
with their surroundings; this is a bizarrely
widespread myth. Chameleons change colors
and patterns based on their mood. Each
chameleon displays it’s very own unique colors
and patterns.
11. • I do not blend into the environment either and my
personality changes when my brain shifts gears.
• I would describe myself as an interesting and
intelligent conversationalist, a good listener who is
kind, polite, amusing and easy going; who also
possesses a childlike enthusiasm and a fun, outgoing,
adventurous soul; until I am involved in a project.
• When I am working on a project I have often heard
the complaint that I am too focused on my work. I
become determined, passionate, resourceful and
completely engaged in the task at hand.
