YOUR THOUGHTS

Try to give insightful, thorough answers and use proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

What song do you think we should go listen to right now?*

Name a song you love or a song you think more people should know about.

How do you show Grit?*

“Perseverance and passion for long terms goals” Exhibiting passion shows others you care and are able to vocalize it. Grit shows you have passion and are able to “actionize” it. Grit or gritty admits we are not polished, not perfect – we are humble. That humility comes from our back story, what made us who we are – or an undying motivation to do better. — This is what Grit means to Townsend and it is a cornerstone value upheld by all Townsend Partners. Share a gritty story with us, or tell us what grit means to you, or tell us how you can show grit.

Tell us something about yourself that is interesting or fun or awesome*

Consider, how do you want us to remember you? What fun-fact do you want associated with your name? For example, tell us about ‘the horses you raise and ride’, so we might be able to remember you with something like, “Jane who rides horses”.

What are your long term career ambitions?*

What are 10 things you can make from a cereal box? – OR – give us a suggestion of a different question we can ask here, which will help us get a sense of someone's problem solving skills, creativity, and ability to follow directions…*

Townsend works best when we have problem solvers, creatives, and people who can use their life experiences to figure anything out together. This question is a simple and fun way to explore the creative problem-solving part of your brain.

Anything else you want us to know about you? Why are you awesome, what are your passions…?
