I am in the process of applying for a job, and on the application I have to write about my preferences. In the preferences section, they want the following: ideal job/company/management style, strengths, general preferences, and motivating factors.

BTW, it's a programmer job. Here's what I have so far:
Ideal Job
- challenging work
- multitasking
- flexible start/end time
- knowledgable management and fellow team members
- competitive salary
- working with a diverse group of people
- learning new things regularly
- room for advancement

Ideal Company
- a successful well-known company

Management Style

Strengths
- I rarely make the same mistakes twice. The first time I make a mistake I usually jot it down, think about it and how not to do it again another time.

General Preferences
- share an office or work are with a small team, so that if I needed feedback on a solving a problem,I can get other people's input

Motivating Factors
- knowing that clients/coworkers depend on me for what I'm working on
- knowing that what I'm learning would be useful in the future

===

Anyhow, can people help me proofread this since I know I've probably made a couple of mistakes or that I could have expressed certain things differently.

Thanks in advance.
