I am a strong team player and have led teams for technical and cultural activities during my college days. I will be a great player in any of the teams in your company, if given the opportunity.

I am very organized with my time and work. I keep my desk organized and always have everything in acertain place so I can locate things easily. Being organized with my work schedule and time helps me to work efficiently.

The area I am disorganized is probably my computer desktop. I usually have so many icons everywhere. My file cabinet is also a bit unorganized since I tend to put things in there haphazardly when I am busy. I need to organize both of these.

I work well under pressure because I do not panic. I work as efficiently as possible by prioritizing and organising my work. I have no hesitation to work overtime to meet the deadline.
