Independence

Independence is a key character trait that can lead to your ultimate success on KnowMore Platform. It is a combination of individual decision making, personal responsibility and perseverance. Admins cherish independent designers – as we can trust them to work on their own. An independent designer uses their admins’ resources wisely.

What does it mean if you got this tag as feedback from an admin?

• You ask questions you can easily get the answers for from the description, instructions and guideline materials
• Instead of first trying to figure out the project on your own, you rely on the admin to explain even easy details
• You ask the admin to give you ideas to design the slide without trying on your own first
• You ask the admin to explain PowerPoint, instead of first using Google to search for tutorials
• You needed a lot of attention (handholding) from the admin to be able to complete the task, for example - sharing screenshots for every action you apply on a slide is over-communication

What can you do to become better?

• Try to understand the project on your own – and if you are unsure, summarise your understanding to double check it with the admin
• Come up with your own solutions, drafts, ideas first – and ask the admin for feedback on them – instead of asking them for their ideas.
• Work/edit a few slides based on your understanding and submit it for proper review
• Search for PowerPoint tutorials on your own to learn PowerPoint tips and tricks in your own time to prepare for more difficult projects
• Be aware of your weaknesses so you can better your skills – so you only need admin help for tricky situations
• Try to use KnowMore knowledge center and resources as much as you can
