Can I get some help with finding the right word?

[Biciclista]

does not increase work load?
does not cause complications?

[spokewench]

efficiently accomplishes tasks

[Kimmyt]

streamlined

[SheFly]

Context? It's hard to provide a word or phrase without the associated context.

Let me know how it goes! Anxious to hear.

Basically, I'm looking for a way to say that this new program that I am proposing (training within existing departments) won't create excess workload for the training department.

I am essentially including a 'nod' to the engineering managers who will balk at the idea of adding more work to staff that is already short handed. I want them to understand that I get this and that I will work with them should I get hired.

(one of the previous candidates apparently gave the impression they they would railroad the program down their throats and as an internal candidate, I want them to know that I certainly don't want to do that!).

I'm feeling good about this. Nervous, but good.

Oh, and thanks for the suggestions so far! They are certainly helping me get my brain working again this morning. I've already used 'streamlined' as another descriptor, but that's close!

Just say it? The new program will not increase workload. The new program will not increase administrative burdens. Instead, it will . . .

Use the word "collaborate" or "collaboration" - the program will be designed as a collaborative effort with the engineering teams, taking their workload into consideration...

Good luck! I know you will nail this. And when you get the job, I am happy to share other inputs with you!

You write "You know all those programs that are supposed to do more, better and faster than the old program but they are actually slower, do even less than the old one and with more errors that need to be reworked?

This will NOT be that program. "

Thanks guys! The interview went well. I'd say that I effectively 'nailed it'. I have one more interview today with the recruiting team, but I met all the same people yesterday (they attended my presentation).

They have one more external candidate to interview later this week, but I seriously cannot imagine what they would have to offer that would knock me out of the running. We'll see. The HR people yesterday were talking to me as if the position were already mine at the end of the day. They were raving about my presentation, too. We talked about transitioning from my current position, what would be my first priorities, etc. I'll know officially early next week.

Emily - Vet school is still on my radar, but this is to hold me over. When this job popped up on our system, I just HAD to apply. It's as if it was written for me! Maybe I'll love it so much that I'll want to build a career here and let the vet school idea dissipate...but at this point, it's still in the works.
