Part 8/10:
Thinking ahead while working is a skill that can set you apart. As a helper or an apprentice, pay close attention to your supervisor’s workflow. Anticipate their needs so that you can prepare the necessary tools and materials in advance. This not only demonstrates initiative but also shows that you're serious about your career progression.
Long-term thinking is equally important. Consider where you want to be in your career—whether it’s to become a master plumber, superintendent, or even start your own venture. Take note of how leaders in your field operate and interact, and strive to model those qualities.
