Personal Characteristics

  • Ability to prioritize and deal with heavy workload/multiple simultaneous projects
  • Ability to record information accurately and detect/report issues before they compromise delivery
  • Ability to analyze and problem solve/keen attention to detail
  • Ability to learn new software quickly or on the job if necessary
