Martin’s strengths

I have consistently achieved highly throughout my academic and work experience, and I will always go the extra mile in order to reach my full potential, whatever the task may be.

I am a diligent worker with excellent attention to detail - I recognise that maintaining quality and organisation delivers consistent, superior results with greater efficiency when compared to focussing on speed alone.

I pick up new concepts easily, which allows me to adapt to new roles very quickly, or to help introduce something new to an existing role. I am able to do this without assistance if none is available, which often helps when resources are tight, although given the choice I find it is always best to ask questions to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation.

I strive to solve problems instead of working around them, and I am at my most pro-active and productive when faced with a challenge. I find that I enjoy jobs more when I take an interest beyond my basic duties, which allows me to shoulder extra responsibilities, which in turn further increases my enjoyment of the job.

I consistently analyse my approach to a task and remain aware of alternative approaches, which allows me to grow and stay at the top of my game.

I am an approachable person and I build close relationships with those around me. This rapport makes teamwork smoother and also allows me to help others and have honest discussions about any potential difficulties associated with a task.

I am always happy to adopt a leadership role, something that comes naturally for me. It is very important to me that I treat all my colleagues with the respect they deserve, and I am therefore careful to only apply as much leadership as the moment demands.

I am capable of keeping my same high standard of work under stressful conditions. By remaining objective, prioritising urgent tasks and if necessary working extra hours I am able to deliver results regardless of tight time limits, outside scrutiny or other pressures.

I like to look at the big picture. What’s most important for delivering a goal? What’s routines and structures will deliver the best results?

I enjoy revisiting existing solutions and ways of working and enhancing them using the latest knowledge and technology. This has often been useful in my career when teamed with others who are more focussed on creating new things - we make a good combination.
