CONSULTANTS SUMMARY I am honest, loyal and determined
I adapt easy to any situation and function at my best under pressure.
I am open-minded and ambitious.
Being a legal secretary since 1997 has given me the opportunity to gain experience on a wide range of legal matters. Being part of a team that functions as one makes me thrive in an office environment.
A discus Personality Profile Test conducted on Ms Grobler indicates that she is an ANALYTICAL PLANNER personality style. The test revealed that she possesses the strong traits of technical potential, cooperativeness, patience, accuracy and thoughtfulness. A receptive and somewhat complaint individual, Mr Grobler accepts instructions and follows rules without difficulty, being prepared to accede to the requirements of management and the needs of colleagues in order to foster a cooperative positive working environment. Her work can be of consistently high quality, as she expends time and effort to achieve the best result she can.
A thoughtful and consultative style characterizes Mr Grobler, who will wish to make sure not only that her decisions are based on correct factual information, but also that they will be widely accepted by her colleagues and management.
Having an organized and structured personality, Ms Grobler is not only an effective planner in her own right, but the more passive side of her personality means that she will normally be ready to comply with the plans of others. The precision of her personality, coupled with her patient, steady style, means that she is able to concentrate to produce detailed long-term plans.
