Working with a crew to get a common goal achieved
Learning new things very quickly
Managing my time and the time of a crew that I am leading
Working diligently, meaning I don't do well just sitting around and not doing anything all the time
Knowing the ins and outs of what I do, and constantly wanting to know more
Communication with my bosses, and with my crew members
An accomplishment that I am proud of and that I think can give me a slight edge is that I was promoted to Student Captain at Chemeketa Community College in the fire suppression program. This means that I am in charge of a crew of 8 people including me, making sure that we are where we need to be when we need to be there, being the Captain on any calls that we get, and many other things. With this accomplishment I have been given the privilege of learning how to manage people better than I knew how to before, how to communicate with my superiors and even dispatch and command when we get mutual aid calls.
