How would you describe people who typically thrive in this industry?
Definitely be a go-getter. Don't be afraid to challenge yourself to learn something new and ask everyone questions.
Ask questions. If you don't know something, you don't have to pretend you know the whole world because a lot of people don't. It's challenging to memorize everything, especially at the beginning.
Don't be afraid to research. Look at books. Ask people. Use your resources.
