I have found it to be very valuable to have a list of folks who are willing to answer what every questions I might have regardless of how silly, picayune, or trivial they might seem to them.
During my Information Technology (IT) career, I had lots of opportunities to meet people in many industries, various levels of experience and responsibility, and numerous levels of education. They all had their strengths and weaknesses. And, the ones who knew these strengths and weaknesses were many of the ones I gravitated to.
It’s amazing how much one can learn about someone else if you ask them to give you their advice and suggestions.
