So, why me? I have asked candidates and employees whom I've interviewed that same question over years. If I am talking with you about a possible career opportunity, why should I consider you over other candidates? It's a fair and appropriate and question. So... What do I bring to the table and what value do I provide that maybe other people do not?
It might be hard to believe given I created this website to more effectively promote myself, but I consider myself humble, prefer working in a team and development other, and believe sharing credit creates a positive work environment, fosters collaboration, builds trust, and frames a fun, positive work environment.
Moreover, I believe I bring a blend of leadership, passion, creativity, and self-awareness to the table. With a proven track record of success and a commitment to continuous growth and improvement, I am confident in my ability to add significant energy and value to any team or organization.
