Sample answers given to help with this question are so run of the mill, i.e.: "exceptional interpersonal skills"; "high energy sales professional". This sounds like a resume. I hate resumes....both creating them and having to READ them. Resumes are as good as one wants them to sound. Some people actually create their resumes from someone else's ideas. That person is NOT creative, though he says he is in his resume! How is a company to KNOW for sure. They can't. It's a gamble, let's face it. Hire someone who sounds and looks good, and who has impeccable references. That's the best you can do. That's is my advice to any company looking to hire. But for the record, I AM INDEED creative, able to work independently, intelligent to learn on my own.....a detail freak, etc..... Also, I had a tough, detailed boss for 20 years. That's a benefit about me from which the next company can benefit! A person who takes over my job when I move on will be able to follow a paper trail that will leave little, if any question about how tasks should be handled, where to find info, etc. My records were impeccable. My caring and concientiousness, my intelligence and my creativeness, will make up for any lack of experience in any field. Any of my past employers will attest to that. So, take your best shot, and I hope it's at ME. Thank you!

Companies I like:

Yes, the "examples" are great....i.e. Ford, GE, etc. What are the chances of THAT happening?...being hired by General Motors???. What have you to gain, as a company seeking a new hire, by knowing that an applicant would love to work for Ford, or GE, or one of those? I'll be realistic: I'd love to work for a "good company" who takes a shot at hiring ME, and with whom I can proove myself. Plain & simple.

One of my tasks was preparation of payroll for 16 clients. When I took over this position, the existing payroll records were in deplorable condition. I had no paper trail to follow, and no one to train me. I quickly organized the records, learned as I went along and learned any way that I could, and kept the payroll going without interruption to any client. Payrolls were neater and more efficient, and clients commented on how happy they were that I was now handling their payroll. My boss was elated. He is aware that any task he give to me WILL be handled.
