Occasionally, this will involve video chats or video teleconferences with people located throughout the world.

On a daily basis I poll my peers for ideas and opinions in order to fully understand problems and to get insight on solutions. I collaborate with my supervisors to ensure that my plans are fulfilling their expectations. It is a good idea to run your ideas by your supervisor as you work on a project to ensure that you are following their guidance and moving in the right direction. That way you can make corrections using additional guidance prior to completing the project.
