Being totally down for doing absolutely anything necessary, whatever anyone asks of you, and having to learn how to do new things all the time. In my particular field, I wouldn’t necessarily be able to predict how a day would go. Sometimes you get weird assignments and you have to figure stuff out. It’s just a matter of thinking on your feet, being useful and at the ready always, and constantly trying to help out. You have to make yourself indispensable, whether it’s by learning some complicated thing that nobody else wants to figure out how to do, or by just being pleasant to be around. Being easygoing can go a long way.
