Hearing aid, having to make people repeat themselves from time to time, that sort of thing. I actually find that co-workers respond better to "I'm sorry, I have issues with my hearing" than my own family does. My wife, in particular - boy does she hate having to repeat stuff. Hasn't been a problem career-wise, though... it's just frustrating for ME when I have to talk with people. | |

This signals that you are proactive and know how to get things done and take full forward steps to do it. A lot of companies are looking for that quality in prospective employees. | |

Thanks for taking the time to write this up. | |
