Preparing for a job transition and getting fixated with left-field interview questions.

I have always considered myself to be a collaborative person, so during my work review last year, I was surprised to receive feedback that I am perceived as insular and only choose the work that I want to cooperate with others. I had declined to vet the emcee script for Awards Day even though I was appointed as one of the emcees. I told my Reporting Officer that I found the vetting of the script to be a last-minute request and declined it to protect my time and uphold my priorities. On hindsight, I could have communicated my concerns about the deadline better and offered to review the final version. These days, I’m more proactive in anticipating tasks and delivering drafts in advance to avoid last-minute situations.
