(4) What is your greatest weakness and achievement? Using four words, how would your former colleagues/superiors describe You?
James Lessor • Apr 21, 8:07 PM
My 30 day goal is to be well equipped in the policies, procedures, and the vision of Johnson and Johnson. I will not only familiarize myself with the company itself, but also the people that help to keep the organization moving forward, utilizing LinkedIn. I will connect with department personnel and management to gain more insight to work as a cohesive team. My ultimate goal is to keep working towards my Six Sigma certifications and to extend my expertise in this current role.
I have had small disagreements with team members, but my ability to communicate effectively as well as my patience has allowed me to reconcile with the individuals. There was an instance where the leading manager had given me specific duties before he left the office. His subordinate was not informed, and he himself had given me a list to complete as well. That manager found that I was not completing the duties he had asked me to complete and reprimanded me in front of my colleagues. Instead of firing back, I had finished the transaction, and asked if I could speak with him in the office. After respectfully voicing my frustrations, he had apologized and directed me to follow-through with the managers assigned tasks, and commended me for my reserve even though he felt I had the right to retaliate.
My greatest strength is my ability to adapt, even in a fast-paced environment. My weakness was time management, but after speaking to my manager and asking advice, I have implemented strategic ways of managing my time.
Team oriented, fast learning, driven, honest,individual with a passion for helping others.
DONE

The company and I have the same values. To extend high quality while putting the needs and well-being of the people they serve 1st. These have been my same values for over 10 years and I will continue to take pride in adding value to the company while securing customer satisfaction. It’s second nature for me.
My toughest experience on the job is actually recent. At RSR we had to transition into using a newer occupations management application. Although I had written pertinent notes during the training,I was still having difficulties grasping the new concept. That same day on lunch, I went to the applications company website to gain more knowledge, and I also compared notes with other team members, to pin-point what I was missing, I’m proud to say, that very next day, I was able to navigate smoothly through the application and will now be assisting in the training of the new hires.
