              1. When a manager isn't around then you will need to figure out what to do in a difficult situation by yourself. e.g... packing an urgent send out or creating a UPS delivery form when the courier arrives.
                1. This enables me to think effectively in whatever situation i will be in, whether it is dealing with a customer or a team member in the future i will be able to solve the problem quickly and effectively.
