Human Resources Payroll Administrator

You usually need and want a consistent schedule with minimal change, and you tend to favor and draw toward the familiar. You are incredibly dependable, steady, and predictable. You will be resolute and committed if you are comfortable with your job duties. You would rather have a workload that lets you "check off" things and finish one project before starting another. Even if you feel it is right to engage in small talk, you would prefer to concentrate on the current assignment.

If this resonates with you, then this is the perfect role for YOU!
