Q8: Who thrives in industry?
How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry? Passion comes to mind. You definitely need to be really passionate about the work that we do, and then being detail-oriented.
Attention to detail is really crucial for maintaining compliance and quality within this business. Especially for someone like a technical reviewer or an inspector for organic, you really need to be able to read and interpret fine details.
This applies whether it's a written organic systems plan that you're looking at or somebody's body language during an onsite inspection. You really need to have a keen sense of attention to detail.
And then adaptability. Being able to navigate and respond to industry changes and regulatory changes is definitely important.
