What skills are most important for a job like yours?
Nearly every skill that anyone tells you about what it takes to be a successful operator falls into two categories. First, there are the basics, like being able to work collaboratively, knowing when to share information, and how to lead teams.
Then there are the other obvious skills, such as learning the hard skills needed for the job. These could be analytical skills like SQL or data analysis broadly, or understanding how software works.
However, the skills that truly make a genuine difference are different. They're about knowing how to learn. This is the make-or-break skill.
When you're tasked with something you've never seen before, you need to be able to break that challenge down into manageable steps. This allows you to gain more than a passing familiarity with a new concept or skill.
Always maintain an open-mindedness toward learning something new and a willingness to gain new knowledge. This is truly the most important fundamental skill.
Outside of work, this approach makes life much more dynamic and fun. Approach everything knowing that while you might not know something today, you know what it takes to learn it.
You can apply your efforts, brainpower, initiative, and desire for achievement to the task and figure it out. Wanting to figure something out and breaking it down into completable tasks is the fundamental skill everyone should have. It's important for my job and every job.
