If The New York Times hired you today, what would you aim to accomplish first?

"I would first aim to learn everything I could to get oriented and get up to speed. No doubt it is a lot to take in. Not to mention, I would place a lot of focus on earning the trust of my coworkers and work hard to prove I am worthy of their trust. I'd build relationships, lean on others for their perspectives and insights, and shadow my mentor at every opportunity. No sense in trying to reinvent the wheel before learning how the rest of the car works. Once I have a firm grasp of how everything works and the avenues for suggesting innovations or improvements, I'll start asking the right questions to approach each opportunity with humility rather than presumption."
