You’re also empathetic and enthusiastic and feel comfortable socializing with people you may not know. You’re excited at the opportunity to expand your network and build relationships within the community.
- **Thrive under pressure**: You stay calm, approachable, and in control during stressful situations, by focusing on the solution, not the problem. As this is a customer-facing role you may face some negative feedback and criticisms.
- **Leader, not a follower**: You’re innovative and think outside the box. You enjoy pushing the limit (creatively), and set trends, not just follow them.
- **Tech Savvy**:You are comfortable adapting to new forms of technology and using various platforms (social media, video communications, virtual events, etc.). You are also proficient in Microsoft Office.
- **Support Local**: You make regular trips to the corner bakery, participate in #KWAwesome community groups on social media, and generall
