Q: How do you develop your knowledge and skills to do your job better?
A: The simple answer….ask questions. If there is one thing I have learned during my 10+ years with regards to development is that as an individual it is important to ask questions. Everyone at Wilbur Ellis has always been very helpful when I’ve reached out while learning something new. It is important to be your own advocate when it comes to learning and growth. Express to others what you need, be specific and know that it is okay that you do not know it all right away. In my experience of being a part of the Business Services team, the learning and subsequent development are ongoing. Being the team who transacts the business involves interaction with a wide audience including internal and external customers, vendors and multiple departments as well as people across all career levels from administrative support to middle and upper management. Be your authentic self, ask questions, seek to understand, and take initiative.
