What was your biggest learning at work?That the best outcome comes from true multi-functional work where each provides a unique perspective based on his/her expertise and the harmony that comes only from having clear objectives and strong leaders.
What is the one piece of advice you have for future applicants? Make sure you have a clear personal objective in mind. When you know what you want out of life and you are aware of your strengths it is easier to recognize the kind of role you like to play within a big “family”. In the end you would be more happy on your career choice and will become more productive as you move ahead.
