The medical device industry is highly technical. Even if you aren't an engineer, you still need to know specific information about the product to understand the business. There is a learning curve for any new employee, but those who can pick up things quickly set themselves up for success faster.

"When I started my last job, I heard so much unfamiliar terminology in my first week, so I started making a list. When I had time to ask people or look things up, I'd add them to the list until I knew what everything was. My list became pretty extensive, so the HR person who does onboarding asked me if she could give it to new hires from now on because it was so helpful."

"I love Google. In almost any environment, if you don't know something, you can use Google and go from there. I take the time to research outside of work the elements of the industry that I don't know to get up to speed faster. By the second or third week, I have impressed the people I work with by contributing to the business."
