Are you friendly? Helpful? Around? Do you do your work? Are you constantly trying new things and sharing what you’ve learned? What do you guess they would say your future holds?

Being “likable” is one thing. But would someone you know want to hire you? Are you a good problems solver? Are you an extra accomplished programmer? Or do they just know – that / whatever it is – you’ll rise to the occasion and try your best and bring something needed to the team?
How are you settings your standards?
