Here’s something they don’t tell you: taking notes isn’t your job.
Nor is learning fast.
It doesn’t matter that you can pick up where someone left off.
Doesn’t matter that you can read instructions.
What they want is someone who is ready to surprise and delight–that’s your actual job.
Undoubtedly there will be learning involved and a fair amount of reflection on previous efforts, but regurgitating the past isn’t why they hired you.
