Around Wednesday and Thursday, make cutting the bull your highest priority.

Make it more about watch-and-learn rather than trial-and-error as the week gets going. If you play it right, you'll be gathering information from someone else's mistakes without ever getting your hands dirty.

Be ready to translate it into their language. And watch for networking opportunities over the next couple days, perhaps embedded in an unlikely social situation.
