I make it happen. How I work—I have
a picture in my head on how things will
be, and I’m totally involved in the
here and now. I am go, go, go. And that
creates a lot of successes. I just dodge
my way through the sparks and problems.
I’m very task oriented. I like to
do something, get it done, and move to
the next thing. I love circumstances where
it’s a challenge.
I’m
a doer. What’s the mission and how
are we getting there? Let’s work
together. Let’s go. Throw any obstacle,
I’ll find a way.
New
stuff, that’s the thrill. I love
to learn. I can take a prior experience
and lay it right on top of what I’m
doing today and carry it all forward,
and it’s a snap. I do a lot of brainstorming
on my feet, organizing the points in my
mind mentally. What’s to worry? Just
adapt. But draw me a picture, get me a
list, or put it on my calendar. Sitting
still is hard for me. I am really activity
oriented and I don’t need lots of
supervision. I look for variety in most
positions. If it’s not there, I tend
not to stay. I’d rather go out there
and do it, just get on with things, and
I can communicate that without having
to spend a lot of time explaining. People
know that if I have something that needs
to be done, I do it. And I ask for help
when it’s needed.
I
am totally a people person. Working through
people is the way to get things done.
All of my energy, fun, and most uplifting
experiences are focused around people.
I don’t beat around the bush. Sometimes
I have to tone it down a little bit—people
may read me the wrong way. I’m very
comfortable working either together as
a team or individually. I like having
flexibility, options, negotiating points.
Some people need somebody to be very clear,
very direct, and very to the point. That’s
how I operate. And work needs to be mutually
enjoyable for all of the parties involved.
Celebrate achievements. Recognition or
reward runs very high in my value system.
I
love the challenge of creating something
pleasing to the eye. I like the order,
to walk into a place that’s totally
chaotic, nothing’s happening, and
there’s a great opportunity to straighten
things out. I like to get the job of placing
all the stuff, making it right so it works.
Search & Apply to New Jobs I
like somebody with a little sizzle. The
most important thing in relationships
is absolute autonomy and independence.
I admit I like to be in control and yet
I’m kind of easygoing in that I just
want freedom. Freedom to me is leave me
alone, let me do it. Anything that constrains
me around that I don’t like and kind
of rebel against. I don’t like to
be told what to do or what to think. And
although I know it’s good for me,
I don’t like feedback either. It
takes a lot to rattle me, and even then
I just go on. I tend not to dwell on things,
but sometimes I have a tendency to imagine
worst-case scenarios, especially when
I am stressed.
Family
is very important. Just getting together
and being close with the family, I think
that’s satisfying. I don’t have
a whole lot of really deep friendships,
but yet I like to think people would describe
me as dedicated, determined, and loyal.
I sometimes have difficulty concealing
what I am thinking or feeling. I don’t
like the pressure of having to say no.
I can be somewhat cool but a genuine friend
as a personal relationship evolves. Trustworthiness
in personal relationships is very important,
that we can disagree and still be friends,
and if our backs were ever to the wall,
I’m there and I would expect the
same.
If
I don’t respect someone, I avoid
them. If I can find another way to do
business I will. I surround myself with
people that I feel comfortable with, but
they’re totally my selection.
I
like taking on something that I want to
do and getting it done and seeing results,
keeping things moving along just to see
that I have met some goals—a feeling
of accomplishment in a day. I’ll
always take bigger risks if I feel confident
enough. Then I’ll work with it for
a while, and if I see it’s not going
anywhere, I just move on and go from there.
I guess that summarizes how I deal with
situations.
