Important: For all the following links (social media, resume, and work examples) please check that the link you provide works and is publically accessible (openable in an Incognito window for example) and remains accessible for many months.

20. List podcasts you listen to regularly and enjoy, from most favorite to least favorite, separated by commas. Leave empty if you don't listen to podcasts.

I just want to learn more about your interests, plus I love all kinds of podcasts and want to get suggestions ;-)

21. Is it better to work hard or work smart?

22. Describe the tasks you see yourself doing as part of this position. I value good organization and attention to detail.
