Terry: You’ve already started to talk about that a little bit in terms of what you bring, but what is it in terms of why do you want to work here?
Bonnie: I know what you do is a vital service, the emergency centers and 911 center. I know what a vital service you perform for the community, which is something that I’m really interested in.
My passion is in working with organizations that work with the public. I’ve seen in action what you do because we unfortunately lost somebody in my building, we lost quite a few people, but we lost somebody to a fire, so I’ve seen what your agency does.
Plus, I know that I can come in and be productive from day one because I already know what is expected on grants, I’ve been doing that for a while. I’ve trained staff people and I know that when I’m coming in I can be productive and that’s something I’m looking for.
Here’s how I would rate this answer . . .
