Professional Development

Reading 1

#29. I find value in the mistakes I make in my career and also my personal life. I am always striving to be a better person by evaluating mistakes I make in all different situations. That is the only way I can recognize how the situation went wrong, what I did to fix it and what I would do differently in the future. Mistakes are frustrating, but in disguise, are opportunities to learn and grow.

#17. I love working with people, especially people who have much more experience in a field than I do. Mentors have working knowledge that I am always eager to learn about. This type of learning is productive and fulfilling for me. And usually the mentor and student can develop a close professional and/or personal relationship.

#16. I know that this is a very important skill to have in any career field, coding especially. However, I often struggle to take massive amounts of criticism not personally. This is something that I recognize about myself, and try to remediate. I am an open communicator and will work through the criticism I receive with whoever provided it to come to fully understand it.

- Checklists will always be a failsafe in any type of work environment. As a student and in the workplace, checklists can help you order the tasks you need to complete in a certain time frame but also help frame how you will complete those tasks. Also, checklists can create uniformity among coworkers and teammates when performing work. And finally, checklists help you make sure that you have every component needed to complete a project successfully.

- From my own readings and these articles, I find a recurring theme that everyone in a workplace is different and that to capitalize on an employee or team, we need to create individualized job positions. I am in support of this style of approach, however, I have only ever analyzed this practice in theory – how is does it play out in practice? What are the positives and what are the pitfalls? From my previous work experiences, I know that I am a positive enthusiastic person who can easily make connections with those around me. I hope that in software development, I can be a person people can depend on to establish good working relationships between clients and business, but also encourage teammates and be a support for them.

Again, the soft wrap isn't working so here is the work in the comments.
