Homework: To cultivate your growth mindset, make 2 lists:
List #1: Subjects or skills that you’ve learned

Note: Informational interviews can be more helpful and less time intensive for everyone involved.
Job shadowing isn’t always possible (e.g. for safety or security reasons) and for many jobs would involve sitting and watching someone work at a computer all day. It may still be useful if a) the person explains what they are doing well and b) to understand the structure of how they work. If working at a computer all day sounds terrible to you, it’ll be more clear to you by watching this work than by hearing a summary of the work.

Tip: Instead of referring to your questions as “stupid questions,” try “basic question.” After all, not knowing something that you have little or no experience with is not a reflection of poor intelligence! And asking questions to fill in your knowledge gaps is a very smart move.
