Superman32 0 #1 May 21, 2009 I have to write some BS letter about myself, but can come up with the appropriate words- It's one of those 3 words to describe yourself BS. I've looked online but havent really found anything appropriate. 1) what's a single word to describe some one as "Calm and Collected" - ie stays calm and thinks clearly under stressful situation. Like every single skydiver who has ever lived. 2) Leader: someone who can both lead and take direction. Not a pompous freak who thinks he/she knows everything. I was going to use the word leader, but that seems a little pretentious for someone applying for the lowest job of the totem pole and may give off the wrong impression (relatively speaking - 1st year Medical resident) 3) Someone who can change as situations demand it. I'm thinking adaptable or dynamic. Thanks for the help, Inveniam Viam aut Faciam I'm back biatches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #6 May 22, 2009 It's the whole 'single word' thing that's the problem, and seems like a pointless restriction. I can think of any number of 2-word phrases for each of these. I had a look here. 1) What about 'unruffled' or 'unflappable'? They also list 'levelheaded' which is probably best, but I don't like it as a single word. 2) How about 'collaborative' for number 2? That's the best I can do to suggest someone who is team minded. I think you've already got good words for point 3. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
