In my role I think communicating may be the most important skill. I need to effectively discuss with my coworkers the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of our procedures and the tools we use to implement them. My role is largely undefined. I often seek out new projects and am entrepreneurial in order to stand out and help our company achieve its goals. Most days consist of meetings, working on my projects, and continuing to learn from my coworkers.
