Q8: Who thrives in industry?
How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
Open-minded, very much so. They are good critical thinkers who can evaluate, analyze, and synthesize information.
Those who are able to present with good communication skills are also important. They are organized problem solvers, able to deal with and resolve issues.
