The Ideal Candidate
You’re the person who naturally takes charge, hates sloppy work, and thrives when you’re responsible for the shop’s output. You don’t shy away from tough conversations, and you take pride in sending out flawless work.
If someone needs constant reminders or can’t meet standards — you deal with it fast.
