I'm offering
So how would I describe myself? fun, energetic, opinionated, loyal, dedicated, hardworking, fearless, success focused, approachable, flexible, wear my heart on my sleeve.
Well that all sounds amazing, what do others would say about me; ….’lively’ ‘always has an opinion’ ‘can be trusted’ ‘loyal’ ‘bold’ ‘results driven’ ‘challenging’ ‘approachable’ ‘control freak’ ‘high standards’ ‘a bit bossy’
So that is not too bad, I do believe I am a person that brings my real self to work, you get the whole of me with no half measures. Most of the time I see this as a good asset, but sometimes I need to remind myself to remove the emotion.
