I say you walking down the aisle of creativity and get a basketful - you appear to be lacking.

Crystal clear clairvoyance -- so I could predict problems that the company would be about to have in future & save money by avoiding the mistakes.

Unfortunately, there's no such thing as clairvoyance, but what I have found in my previous experience is that a healthy dose of preparation is key to being able to prevent problems before they happen & be ready to cope with problems that happen unexpectedly.

I don't always get it right - as there's a balance to be struck - too much preparation never gets enough work done. However, I have found that I do I get it right more often than not, which has resulted in success for me and my former employers.

I do hope I'll get the chance to be able to bring my experience and success to this job in your company.
