Does your job entail you working with others on a daily basis? Is this something you like/dislike about your job? Please explain.
On a daily basis I conduct conferences to discuss progress on projects and to collect and disseminate information. In addition to conferences, I interact with others over email and the phone. Occasionally, this will involve video chats or video teleconferences with people located throughout the world. I enjoy doing this because collaborating with people is an efficient way to get things accomplished. Not only to get more input to make decisions, but I also get to hear different points of view that may cause me to alter my plans.

Yes

Describe your work location (e.g., office, home, theatre, in the field) and what you like/dislike about working in it.
On a daily basis I poll my peers for ideas and opinions in order to fully understand problems and to get insight on solutions. I collaborate with my supervisors to ensure that my plans are fulfilling their expectations. It is a good idea to run your ideas by your supervisor as you work on a project to ensure that you are following their guidance and moving in the right direction. That way you can make corrections using additional guidance prior to completing the project.
