Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant

Are you proactive, impatient, and driven to be accurate? Once you have identified your area(s) of expertise, do you excel in the knowledge of those subjects? Would those that know you well say that you tend to be more book smart than street smart, and that you can become relentless in the pursuit of factual information? Do you tend to be skeptical in nature and need a reliable source of information before accepting something as true and accurate? Is your communication style quick, brusque, and filled with data? Do you hate being wrong, and tend to err on the side of caution to avoid failure?
