Strength / Weakness
*Strength
One of my strengths is adaptability.
*Weakness
I tend to take on too much instead of delegating the work. I would rather do it all myself. But i have been working on trusting and delegating more
Challenging situation and how you handled it
*Had to install a new Codec unit, which I had never done before. It involved connecting these pins. I had a deadline. I had to use google
Working under pressure
Some people had access to their SIPR and some didn’t. I decided to restart the base Taclane and that resolved the issue.
Teamwork & Collaboration
A unit took over the permissions of our network. There were some bumps in the road, but we managed to come together and it ended up being a smooth transition.
When I made a mistake
One of my first jobs in networking……I was working on a clients issue, I was in the data closet and I bumped the fiber which was a trunk port and the whole floor lost connectivity.
