This is a business. 6. Determination to do the best job possible. 7. Someone that understands talking too much at work is hard on other workers.

We use project lists that need to be followed. You need to be able to mentally handle feedback/criticism as any new person will need help doing the job correctly. We play outside with dogs, so you must be able to handle the cold, the heat, the dirt and dog slobber!
