The duties of this job are primarily about making connections with other people.
Relationships are formed quickly, informally, and comfortably, in gaining the enthusiasm and cooperation of others. In this job, it is very important to connect with other people: you will meet new and different people on a day-to-day basis and need to quickly form relationships, build trust by exhibiting confidence and concern for others, and use those relationships to get work done.
Great attentiveness to other people is required: an ability to read other people, to listen to them, and to empathize with them. Much of the work centers around working with and through other people. The job involves persuading others through gaining an understanding of where they’re coming from and using that information to bring them to your desired resolution. Communication is almost always of a "selling" rather than "telling" nature.
A lively enthusiasm is necessary. Personal interactions should generally be upbeat and cheerful, requiring someone who is warm, helpful, and friendly. Others must be put at ease and feel welcome.
There is some degree of a detail-oriented nature needed for this position, as there will be several "pots on the fire" at once, and a relatively quick pace is required to keep everything going smoothly. There will be a fair degree of difference from one day to the next, especially regarding personal interactions.
