5. AUTONOMOUS LEARNING AND WORK

Identify and develop relevant for your job post skills,
which will allow you to be less dependent on the

expertise and support of more senior team members.

Ask for feedback from your peers and supervisors on

the tasks you perform to improve your approaches
and performance.

Proactively look for opportunities to take ownership of

relevant tasks and demonstrate reliability and
accountability to build trust in your individual ability

to perform work independently to your colleagues and
managers.
