What’s A Challenge You Faced Early On?

The process of getting my first job went very smoothly. It was a competitive role, I did well in the interview, and graduated school knowing I had a job.

Because of that ease, I was a little entitled when I got there. Not working as hard and phoning it in a bit.

I thought that work would be like school – every year, you level up, but I had a rude awakening after the first year.

Out of the 12 trainees in our group, 10 got promoted and 2 did not, including myself and my best friend in the program.

It was a real wake up call and reset my attitude early on. I realized how much I still had to learn and began to take more initiative.
