Correct Grammar?????????

[helpmepls]

When writing a letter....what is the correct way of saying the following sentence

a) I have the ability to work using my own initiative

or

b) I have the ability to work on my own initiative

Please help?

[funnygirl]

I would say A.

[funnygirl]

You can act on your own initiative and B does not sound quite right.

[Velvetee]

I would say. "I have the ability to work under my own initiative".

[~max~]

Isn't "own initiative" redundant? Surely, initiative implies it's your own?

[Bathsheba]

How about "not only am I able to work using my own initiative, I am also a keen team player".xx

[~max~]

I'd say "I am able to use initiative in my work".

[helpmepls]

WOW.......you have all been really helpful but I still dont know the correct way...put it this way the job advert said the exact following......
The successful candidate needs to able to work on their own initiative.

I too thought initiative was your 'own'????????

[terambulan]

I think you should say ..........." I am a diligent worker"

I dont think A or B are fitting if its for a CV. Its a bit like punching above your head, or being big-headed.

[helpmepls]

Yes..........good aswer

[lajohn]

how about -

I am self motivated and take initiative.

[helpmepls]

or should I say answer!!!!

[funnygirl]

Initiative is to take action, not wait around for orders looking stupid like you don't know what to do next!!!

[helpmepls]

Thanks....I am aware of the meaning of initiative. Just unsure how it should be placed within a sentence & if the word Using or Own is necessary
