(1) My former teammate at ABC Co, Mary Randall, always said that I could make even a room full of lawyers smile.
(2) My counterpart in Accounting nominated me for a star employee award because he said I was the only person
in the company who tried to make his job easier.
(3) My coworker John always said he was impressed with how organized and professional I am.
In fact, he even volunteered to write a letter of recommendation in which he shares a few more insights about me.
(4) Actually, in my most recent performance review in April, my direct supervisor described me as someone
who takes initiative and doesn’t shy away from hard problems. My role involves a lot of on-site implementation,
and when things go wrong, it’s usually up to me to fix it. Rather than punting the problem back to the team,
I always try to do what I can first. I know she appreciates that about me.
(5) One thing I’ve noticed is that I’m always the one people turn to for recommendations on how to handle
a new event or program—the latest fundraiser that I just told you about would be one. I have a lot of institutional
knowledge, which helps, but I think the reason people come to me is because I work through what a new program
might look like very methodically. If you were to ask my colleagues, I’m confident they’d describe me as logical,
organized, and meticulous.
(6) I don’t want to speak for anyone else, but I’m pretty confident my colleagues would describe me as thoughtful.
I’m the one in the office who remembers everyone’s birthdays and hard-working, since I never leave my office
until it’s been dark out for a couple of hours. My boss in particular would say I’m very knowledgeable about
audience development and it’s why I kept taking on more and more responsibilities in that domain.
