DO YOU FEEL INDEPENDENT IN PERFORMING YOUR DUTIES, OR DO YOU FEEL LIKE

YOU ARE STILL LEARNING BASIC INFORMATION? EXPLAIN

As a legal adult now, I do still tend to feel like I am learning a lot of basic information. While
this is not bad, it is very good reassurance, but I do like to be independent and figure things
out on my own and the basic training is far from my skill levels.

HOW DOES YOUR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AT SCHOOL RELATE AND HELP YOUR
PERFORMANCE ON THE JOB?

At school you are partially taught your manners and how to treat others, so it does help with
my communicating and reasoning skills. My performance on the job has created a whole new
world for me when it does come to business and attentiveness, this shows my peers how I can
work in various environments/departments.
