Flexibility and adaptability are key! I've also learned that there's no such thing as "too much communication." Be as transparent as possible with your staff - they will appreciate it!

^ As a retail employee, I can't tell you how much I value a transparent manager! It really helps build trust among the team.

Hi!
I am curious as to how people respond to the “what are your career goals and interests”. I’m not sure how to articulate what those are and would love advise. The one thing I know is that I want to steer away from project management/admin stuff and do more technical/hands on work. I have a background in environmental science and do QC checks and database management (I find it uninteresting). I feel like I am stagnant in my skills and not learning anymore, and want more science heavy stuff.

I'm interested in an open role at Google; the description mentions several in-office locations, one of which is in the city I live in. It also notes only one remote location- LA, California.

Does this mean working fully remote or even hybrid is not an option if not located in Cali? I know work preference can be discussed during the interview stage (if one gets to that point) but looking for insight on this.

Thank you!
