• Resourceful: Open Minded and creative enough to find outside the box solutions. Persistent enough to keep trying until something works- never giving up.
• Proactive: Always on the move, always looking for the next task or problem to solve. Fixing problems rather than passing problems on to colleagues.
• Trustworthy: Honesty is so integral to your nature that you cannot lie, even when the outcome is more painful. You uphold and deliver on promises. You are loyal to those around you.
• Genuinely Nice: You care about your colleagues, clients, friends and family. You have a generous nature and see the best in people, not the worst.
• Transparency: You do not fear being direct and speaking up. You say what needs to be said, rather than avoiding difficult conversations.
