I liked working with people who helped to cultivate my skills and make sure I was learning
What I wish was different
The location of my desk
Advice
I would tell them to be kind to everyone they work for and always be diligent no matter the task. When people work for a company for a long time they know a majority of their co workers no matter how large their employer may be. It'll be easier for you to be placed permanently if people are speaking well on your behalf.
