They are used to working with managers, colleagues and external stakeholders, and can adjust their communication style depending on the audience and urgency of the issue.

They are comfortable in busy environments and prefer roles where priorities are communicated clearly. In interview, they present as considered and straightforward, with a preference for giving practical examples rather than overstating their experience.
