Don’t be scared of trying something new or even something seemingly familiar but in a different environment, department or industry. Many times, we tend to view jobs with preconceived biases that are often not totally correct, and by embracing the change, it will broaden your skill base. Don\u2019t be afraid to continuously learn as you try new opportunities. As a side benefit, that broadened skill base will likely open many other opportunities going forward.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ admin_label=”Mariana Lafon” module_class=”voices” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fmminermag.com\/htdocs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fox.jpg” title_text=”Fox” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Find something you are passionate about and pursue it. I, unfortunately due to the loss of my brother here at Chino, became more passionate about safety, wanting to ensure no other families had to suffer the loss of a loved one in a mining accident. So, whatever I can do toward that end, I’ll do my best.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ admin_label=”Jeff Loll” module_class=”voices” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fmminermag.com\/htdocs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Graham.jpg” title_text=”Graham” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Find people you can learn from that can help expand your knowledge; they might not always be in your same field. Take the time to listen, and think about new things to keep learning. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions; it\u2019s likely the best way to learn. Take opportunities that arise even if they seem outside your normal scope or interests.

Focus on serving others and always speaking positively about them. People will remember you helping them when you weren\u2019t required to. Never hesitate to ask for help. Collaboration is key to career success. Clearly identify career goals and vocalize them to leadership. Get out in the field as much as possible to build relationships and better understand the mine\/processing sites. Embrace constructive feedback as a tool for growth; sometimes others see improvement opportunities that are unseen to you.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,2_3″ admin_label=”Gabe Montoya” module_class=”voices” _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fmminermag.com\/htdocs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Kelso.jpg” title_text=”Kelso” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.24.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Slow down. Take it all in. Life is a short journey. Do not be afraid to try new things and step out of your comfort zone with your career, and just have some faith. In my experience, all the worry is usually a wasted emotion, and it all works out in the end.<\/p>\n

My advice to my younger self would be to be confident in your abilities and not to be afraid to take risks. You don’t want to miss opportunities because of lack of self-confidence. You need to know your worth. Enjoy the little moments; don’t take them for granted. Don’t get stuck. Embrace change. It can lead to bigger and better things. Always be willing to learn from everyone around you. If things don’t go the way you have planned, just roll with it.
