      I think I’m quite good at asking questions. I’m usually interested in things, which means I keep asking questions, or poking them, until I find the answers. Asking the right questions is very important if you want to find the right answers!

      I’m hope I’m good enough for the job. It’s really up to whoever is paying me to decide that though! So far there haven’t been any complaints!

      I hope so! As a member of staff I have a review of my work every 3 months or so and I guess they would probably fire me if my work wasn’t up to scratch!

      The specific skills that are important for my job are in statistics and working on large datasets of people (I am currently using 4 datasets each with about 18,000 people in each, so pretty big!).

      It depends what job you mean….?

      I’ve been told I’m curious (so I ask lots of good questions), stubborn (so I stick with things), creative (so I love designing) and ambitious (so I aim high). This makes me good at what I do, but I’m sure that those characteristics would make me bad at other jobs!
