PART 2. ONE WORD DESCRIPTION.

Q1. Give ONE word to describe DWE. Justify your answer

ANSWER:
ADAPTABLE. I’m able to work independently but also can work in a more
team-oriented structure. For example, I’ve collaborated with up to 15 people on
certain projects in my current job, for example. I can also react to unexpected
challenges and changes and stay focused and effective. In my last role, we faced a
number of unexpected issues with client projects and even though it can be
stressful, I enjoy working through those unexpected challenges. They don’t throw
me off or cause me to panic.
