when you take your eyes off your goals" by Henry Ford, I also believe that to be
a good worker you have to be orderly and disciplined

5. How have you changed professionally speaking in the last two years?

With the passing of months and years I can say that my lexeme is more nurtured
and it is easier for me to dialogue with people, I have acquired words of which I
have not had knowledge and I know how to express myself in every situation
that arises in my life

6. Tell me about the best manager you have ever had.

I think the best coach I have ever had is myself, I have known when to demand
more of myself and when to recognize that I have done well, I also give credit to
my mother who has been one of the fundamental bases to keep going and not
give up

I don't remember, I just did the interview and they gave me that position, maybe it
was to get a salary increase

more knowledge, I have already worked for 4 years in that company and I think
it is time to work elsewhere.

things better?
I really spent nights without sleep, I am not one of the people who give up easy, I
think I am a bit ambitious and competitive I try to be the best in everything so I
did my best to be a remarkable worker

10. If you’re very happy with your current job, why do you want to leave?

Although I have a position that many want to have and an almost enviable salary, I
do not feel comfortable there, so it is easier to leave
