Who should apply
Curiosity and follow-through.
You do need curiosity, follow-through and the ability to let other people question your work.
- You can follow through on a small piece of work without needing someone to chase you.
- You are comfortable showing unfinished work and having it questioned.
- You care more about whether an idea holds up than whether it sounds impressive.
- You want to learn by building, testing or reviewing something real.
