“I am proficient at taking on multiple tasks from various departments. Assuming that the projects all have varying levels of urgency, I first stop to determine the value of each task and prioritize them from there. This prioritization method ensures the best productivity, and that revenue is optimized.”
Written by James McMechan on September 27th, 2021
“Its essential to have team members that you can rely on to step in when you become too busy. The same applies to being cross-departmentally trained. I am not afraid to ask for assistance when needed and appreciate being in-the-know when it comes to being able to assist my co-workers in other departments.”
