Minpunten
- Things are constantly changing, so staying on top of your work and being flexible is a must - Your experience is very influenced by the people you directly work with, so some had a more positive experience with their peers and supervisors than others did. - While this position is open to all ages, I believe it is more ideal for people recently out of college - for older adults, you may feel like some professional development doesn't apply to you, or on the worst side, even condescended to.
