You double-check your work, follow through on commitments, and take pride in getting things right. You're also resourceful. If you see a problem, your first instinct is to figure out how to solve it.

You ask good questions, take great notes, and once you've been taught something, you retain it. Most importantly, you genuinely like people. You're patient, helpful, professional, and understand that how a client is treated matters just as much as completing the task. You work well independently, but you're also a true team player.
