Core Skills:
- Critical thinking skills. Learn how to evaluate a new problem and break it down into smaller pieces.
- Learn balance with self-learning. When to stop self-research and ask your mentor, when to do self-research instead of asking your mentor which will minimize wasted time.
- Be teachable. "You don't know what you don't know."
- Come ready to learn. Even if you have studied data science in university, application of that knowledge is key and harder than you may expect. Come with an open mind ready to learn new things, not with an attitude that you already know it.
- Self-learning skills are very important.
- Be proactive. Don't just sit around waiting for direction.
- Learn from everyone. "Everyone is better at something than you". We work as a team which means everyone learns from each other.
- Listen to everyone. Respect everyone - "We are all 18-years-old".
- Company culture is the most important thing to understand. Our team is close-knit. We work hard but also enjoy time together.
- Participation in Thursday morning "Coffee Talk"
- Help wherever you can which includes items not in the job description
