"Have many interests
outside of school, hone communication skills, and ask a lot of
questions." |
 
"Get yourself involved. Don't just sit around and wait for things to
happen, because generally they won't. Very few opportunities just come to
you. You've got to get out there, get your fingers dirty, get your hands
dirty. Get into the processes. Get into anything you can. And in that way
you will broaden your experience and you'll be more marketable. And you'll
also be a better asset to the company in general. You'll become a great
asset. And they won't want to get rid of you. They'll want to keep you
around. They'll want to pay you anything and do anything to make you happy
- for you to stay."
