***Here's what will give you an edge**

We know it when we see it. Passion is not saying how much you love what you do in your most excited voice. Passion is revealed in your truest self. It's about what you've accomplished; how you want to grow; the ideas you have; your philosophies. It's demonstrating through your words and your actions that you truly believe in what you do
- and where you work. That it matters to you. And that's pretty cool.
- you put a proposal together, talk to the team about it, and _own it_. And that also goes back to having a pioneering spirit.
- **Quality orientation.**
