Improvise, Adapt & Overcome

Adaptability is an important skill for landmen. This is something that is always relevant to landmen, but especially so during these times. It is hugely beneficial to your career to be able to adapt to new technologies, changing roles, novel situations, and an ever-evolving legal, political, economic, and sociocultural landscape. 
​
Landmen who have experience in a variety of roles can easily transition to new projects. Their versatility and breadth of knowledge provides them access to a wider variety of opportunities. If you are feeling a little stuck in your current role (or lack thereof), try improving your adaptability by stepping out of your comfort zone. Actively seek out opportunities to learn new things (both within and outside of the industry) and don’t worry if you aren’t very good on your first try. With practice you will improve, and you will expand both your mind and your career in the process.
