John Holland Graduate Stories

I prepared for the Graduate Program by keeping an open mind about my rotations and what I was going to learn on the job.

The rotation in projects allows you to meet new people all the time and being challenged to learn more every day.

The main limitation, however, is whatever you limit yourself to. If you are willing to learn and not take things personally, then you can learn more and thrive.

Every stage involves a completely different scope of work, which make things interesting. It makes you never feel bored. There are always new challenges waiting for you to work out.

Working on this project makes me understand more about the amount of work required to build a tunnel and appreciate more when I drive through one. 

Being ambitious, it is easy to put 100% focus into work and let things such as social life and exercise slip.

I was able to gain a deeper understanding of certain functions of a project, such as planning, and how it ties into the overall project.
