Aptitude Profile

I am at my best in a job where I can concentrate on my tasks in privacy, and build trusted relationships with my co-workers. I also am confident and succeed in performing complex tasks and processes within a tight schedule, and occasional work stress does not bother me. Tasks where I have an opportunity to solve problems bring the best out of me.
