Q11: Significant lesson – career
What is one lesson that you have learned that is proving significant in your career?
One thing I've learned was advice from an old supervisor. He said to work towards the job that you want, not necessarily the job that you currently have.
If you are trying to promote up, go beyond your duty statement. That's how you can get promoted quickly or find your next role even better. This happens when you add something to your company and go beyond just what's asked of you.
For example, you could volunteer for extra projects or suggest new ideas. That's a great way to get promoted.
