"Over the years, multitasking and prioritizing have become invaluable skills for me. I began strengthening these skills in a job unrelated to Data Engineering. As an administrative assistant working with a department of a dozen people, I had to learn to prioritize tasks and complete some of the simultaneously. This has become a skill I use frequently as a Data Engineer since I work with many different departments in the company. In any given week, I'm approached by different departments with several different data requests. I have to manage these requests by prioritizing their needs, and in order to get the requests fulfilled efficiently, I use my multi-tasking skills."
