In short terms I can describe myself in the following terms:

I am a most extraverted, social and positive person, good at creating and motivating my surroundings. I am very stubborn and persistent, when it comes to carrying out an assignment and may in such situations appear as irritating and tough to others, but in spite of this I am good at keeping others motivated.

My strength is to analyse problems, work out proposals for solutions and work routines to make an organisation function at an optimum. It is my weakness that I am not good at working according to regular routines for a longer period of time. This is one of the reasons why I want assignments of short duration, so that once the routines have been incorporated, others will take over.

I look for assignments that demand a great deal from me, both from a personal and a work performance point of view. One might say that the more impossible the assignment appears to be, the more exciting it is to me.
