* This one was a character test and you can consider this as my cover letter (below).

Health Reform Support - USAID project

Story of "How to leave a toxic team, even if they have a "big" name and reputation - not for the weak-hearted."

Accepted the job offer with a tremendously exciting scope of work for assisting project leaders and managers with their day-to-day work.

Reality: I was working one-two hours out of forty per week. Regularly, kindly asked management for more tasks to work on. Showed respect, initiative, and proactiveness.

Nothing changed in three months. I had to sit at my desk 8 hours per day with 30 minutes - maximum - of work.

To put me down for my efforts, patience, and respectful, friendly attitude that never wavered – toxic management, after pretending I didn't exist for three months, decided to bring me down by assigning cleaning duties.

I left.

Sharing this on my CV because this is who I am - patient, kind, decisive. Don't take abuse. No drama either. My actions are my sigature. Even in a toxic situation I will not abandon my high standards of communication.

Finally, I am not afraid of standing up to disparity. I know the difference between toxicity, abuse, negligence and inefficient project structure. This was the former ("let's make her feel invisible and then diminish her, she is such a soft, kind heart"). Hence, I acted.

I think people do these things to us when they are envious of our inner beauty and professionalism, and we must set boundaries. Firmly. Fiercely.

Without getting down to their level.
