What’s the most important quality for career success?
I believe the most important skill to have in the current job market is adaptability, both in looking for a job and once you begin your career path. Different opportunities may arise within your company, or at another, that you want to pursue to better yourself and your career. You have to be open to opportunities and have the ability to adjust to the roles.
Would you do anything differently?
I would have started earlier. As I began looking into specific job descriptions, I kept seeing the variety of career paths available to me and had to do a lot more research. Even when certain jobs look like they may go a certain way, everyone’s experiences can differ. Knowing some of the potential paths ahead of you and how roles and experiences correlate to them is great when applying for jobs.
