Why I'm Awesome

I did this for a job application, and it helps to perk my mood too!

I am a hard worker. I am dedicated to the task I am expected to do and do a very thorough job with whatever I’m assigned. I pay great attention to detail because I want to do well. I know how to keep things well organized and tidy so that I can be more efficient and productive. I am always willing to learn more and help others.
I am a fast hands-on learner with a good memory. I take direction from supervisors well and am not afraid to ask for help if I need it. As it pertains to leadership, unless I really know what I’m doing and don’t have too much expected of me all at once, if I must lead I prefer to be in a leadership position either under or with another person so we can help each other out. I enjoy working with people but I also enjoy working alone.
I am a very friendly, nice person and enjoy interacting with others in teamwork or customer service situations, among others. I love doing service for others; it is a priority of mine to make sure others are well taken care of and happy. If the situation allows, I will go out of my way to help someone with a project, whether big or small with no thought of repayment. People value my friendship and giving nature and I have been complimented on this many times.
I can have fun in any situation and am usually a very optimistic and happy person. If someone is not having a good day, I do my best to help lighten their mood; even if I am having a bad day I make sure to pretend I’m not and still try to cheer them up so that we can both feel better and be more productive. I try to always be the one that people can go to if they need anything; a task completed, someone to talk to, someone to cheer them up, etc.
I always stick to my principles and stand up for what I believe in. I will defend others if they are not being respected or treated fairly in whatever way is appropriate for the situation; standing up and putting in a good word for them, offering advice on how to approach a situation (if they have told me about another circumstance), or just being someone that will listen when people want to talk about their frustrations/stressors. I can usually tell what people are in the mood for; when people want someone to just listen or someone to give suggestions or advice, for example.
