Do you take direction well? Can you be given instructions and complete whatever was asked of you?
 
Yes I think I do. It's part of my job. I always make sure I'm clear on what I have to do, then I'm away.
 
Same here. Although I might hate it sometimes, you gotta listen to your boss.

I usually will do whatever a person older than me tells me to do (well within reason), that has probably been instilled in my head from day one. Its a respect thing I guess.

Likewise. As long as the instructions are clear, and I understand completely what I am being told to do, then it doesn't bother me as much.
 
With my job, it can be dangerous to not listen to my boss

I can take directions well, but i can't handle too many directions at one time.

I do not like multi-tasking at all either. I am the only cashier at my job in the morning and ALWAYS HAVE TO multi-task somedays.



Oh man, I hate multi-tasking so bad it's not even funny. I am capable of doing so, but when I am under a lot of pressure, then it's not that easy to do.

Since I am a Paramedic (and crew leader) I not only have to give instructions clearly but I have to know exactly how to react in an emergency situation.
 
I can take direction just fine.... If I like the person giving it...otherwise

it annoys the crap outta me
 
Pretty much; if I have a question about something that I don't understand or just need clarification on, I don't have any problem asking about it.
 
Yes, as it's a part of my job.
