What is one lesson that you have learned that has proven significant in your career?
Being nice, respectful, and honest with people goes a long way. You could be excellent at your job, but if people don't enjoy being around you or find you rude, you won't get very far. This is true even if you're very smart and skilled.
How you treat people significantly impacts how you're perceived and the future opportunities you may receive. It's not always about your job performance; it's also about your ability to interact respectfully with others. Making friends at work will also benefit your career.
