You are… (and your colleagues know that you are)

• Meticulous in all of your work. Your passions include dotting all “i’s” and all crossing all the “t’s”.

• Clean. Your desk is so clean and tidy that they aren’t even sure you showed up at work today?! (but you did!)

• Well-dressed. You take pride in your personal appearance. While you may not own the latest edition of Vogue Magazine, you dress for the job you want and you always assume that you may have in-person contact with a client any day of the week.
• Kind. You treat everyone in the office like they may one day be your boss. Regardless of their title or salary, you treat them politely, professionally, smile and make eye contact when speaking to them.
• An effective communicator. You write emails and communicate with colleagues and clients in a way that would make your parents proud.

You are… (and your best friend or significant others knows that you are)

• Efficient. You are the go-to person when anything needs to be streamlined, organized and made more efficient. You have a keen ability to get from point A to B with the least amount of zigging and zagging possible.
• Energetic. You bring a high level of energy to your work. You can work quickly and somehow not make any mistakes.
• Honest. But IF you do make a mistake, you own it, correct it and learn from it.
• Positive. You form positive relationships with colleagues and clients. You may not be super “bubbly,” “Chatty Cathy” or an “influencer,” however, people immediately sense that you are dependable, trustworthy and consistent.
• Flexible. While you’re not the one to create chaos… you are able to work efficiently while it surround you and are able to lasso it in like a seasoned cowboy (or cowgirl).
• Structured. You’ve been coloring “inside the lines” all your life. You prefer not to break rules and quite enjoy order and predictability.
• BUT you’re fun! Boring people who don’t think these 11 bullets are the funniest thing they’ve read all day should not apply.
• You always arrive 5-10 minutes early at a restaurant, or worst-case scenario… on time.
• You have a plan B, C and D… in case plan A doesn’t work out.
• Even though you may have left school long ago, you’re a lifelong learner. You’ve always got some self-improvement or other non-fiction book, TEDTalk or podcast on the go.
• You’re trustworthy… their secrets are safe with you.
• You keep track of everything. Excel charts are one of your favorite pastimes.
