Demonstrating I'm conscientious in a supporting statement?

[randomling]

What kind of things can I put in a supporting statement for a job to demonstrate that I am conscientious?

(Yes, asking for advice. Would like to have a conversation with someone about this because this is the one point I'm struggling to answer. I am pretty conscientious but really not coming up with anything!)

Self-motivated work on Dreamwidth. Creative writing challenges. Learning code and maths off your own bat. Have you in recent jobs had any Big Project Deadlines where you quietly and sensibly got on with things? Those. xx

Any times you can think of that you noticed something was not right, and you quietly went ahead and did the thing, even if it wasn't strictly something within your job description, because it was contributing to things Not Being Right?

In my own workplace, I would use as an example that I frequently report for repair things like lights being out, the filter light being not-green on the fridge, a door squeaking or not closing right, or any one of the little details that I could have assumed someone else would take care of but I didn't make that assumption (because it's a bad assumption and if I don't report it it'll be a week before someone else does).

Also that my co-workers mention little things that aren't right to me, because I've demonstrated to them that I care about those sorts of things, so my co-workers trust that if they say something to me about something, it'll get done, even if it's not strictly in my job description.

Oh, also, that I remember things people have said to me casually, and report back later if I'm unable to make it happen.
