I am experienced (more than 3 years) and have often worked at heights.

Very little or none – I will need full training in how to use the tools.

I'd rather just do what I already know; learning new things is not a priority for me.

I am very happy to learn everything I can and actively seek opportunities for improvement.

I find out on my own initiative where I can help on a construction site, without waiting to be explicitly told to do so.

None

How do you cope with long, physically demanding tasks during the workday?

I get tired quickly and try to take breaks as often as I can.

I hold on as long as I can, but if it gets too hard, I slow down.

I can work hard all day with occasional short breaks when needed.

I have high stamina – I will work as long as it takes to complete a task.

None

How do you react when your superiors give you constructive criticism or instructions for improvement?

I find criticism difficult and it bothers me when someone corrects me.

I take advice if I have to, but I prefer to do things my own way.

I listen to instructions and strive to improve my work according to the advice given.

I appreciate constructive criticism - I immediately apply the advice to improve my work.

None

I always arrive on time and can be counted on whenever needed.

None

What would you do if you were faced with a task on a construction site that you didn't know how to complete on your own?

I would immediately try to complete the task myself, so what?

I would hesitate and probably wait for someone more experienced to show me what to do.

I would ask a more experienced colleague or superior to explain to me exactly how to complete the task.

First, I would try to recall the instructions from the training or manual, and if I'm still not sure, I would ask an experienced colleague for help.
