I have been working for a few years now and I have seen that the international business industry requires a combination of skills, qualifications and determination. While success in this field does not necessarily require all three elements, possessing all of these attributes, I believe, should give me the upper hand in my fight to stay relevant and productive in this ever-changing field. I believe that we all have what it takes — I have what it takes — to keep myself in the game. What I need now are well-established mentors that will keep me challenged, wondering and focused.
