Divergent Connections

25


25 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted Jun 23, 2017

I believe everything's connected, and no matter what experience I've had, I can bring something I've learned to help me in the next thing I do. I have ADHD, which means that I see life a little differently than some. I think in concepts/pictures/symbols, and if you need advice on how your experience in life can help you with your current situation, I can provide some ideas on how to make your past relevant. Working at McDonald's taught me how to "clean as you go"; working in factories taught me how to adapt to changing expectations and how to work smarter; working in support services has taught me a lot about how to best support independence while connecting as part of a team.
