**Skills**:You’re a great listener

A large part of your work as a paediatric nutritionist will depend on what children tell you or

don’t tell you. You have to empathise with what they and their parents are going through.

You are an influencer and a champion for good nutrition at all times.

You are a champ at influencing people. People come to you for advice. You will inspire

parents, children, and even doctors to follow good nutrition practices in your day-to-day work.

You believe food heals.

You have a knack for dealing with kids.

You are patient and compassionate. You can tell a good story and inspire children to eat

right. You don’t talk down to them. You are their advocate and friend.

Data doesn’t scare you.

You will have to keep a keen eye on nutritional data, malnourishment status, calorie counts

and deficiencies of your patients.

You have a knack for technology.

We love tech when it makes your life easy. We solve the malnutrition problem in critical

illnesses through our FoodHeals App. You will be using this in your day-to-day work.

You’re a stickler for organising things.

You have remarkable attention to the slightest detail and meticulous organisational skills.

Your closet and drawers are a testament to this skill: when something doesn’t have a place,

you make one for it and teach others to keep it that way. You can manage schedules,

prioritise your work and follow it with minimum supervision.
