The Role:
You will complete high volumes of tasks with minimal guidance or supervision while maintaining awareness of deadline sensitivity.

So, as you begin to meet people and establish your network, it's important to foster strong relationships of trust and cooperation, and to build up a good "map" of how the various teams and leaders fit together.
