  • Updating Vivero on Resume

    I have updated the bullet points on my resume for this new project that I’m working on. Looking through what I had written for previous projects, it was interesting to track the continuation of work I’ve done before and what new skills I’ve been able to gain.

    Reflect in a blog post on your portfolio site: with two years of Vivero experience under your belts, what advice do you have for new Fellows about the idea that this job involves learning how to do your job on the fly? I revisited the response I had to this from last year. (It’s been…
