- Priorities: http://sr.photos3.fotosearch.com/bthumb/CSP/CSP990/k11286617.jpg Looking back, what was most helpful in successfully transitioning from college to a full-time job? What did you find to be challenging? Soft skills (you learned more than technical skills in college), results driven not receiving a grade, contribute to mission and success of a company (our mission is all about the patients), you will have to continue learning and start at the bottom again.
