HOW TO BE A BETTER PROFESSIONAL

For me to become a great professional is a personal goal that I want to achieve in the near future, clearly I know that everything is progress, I cannot think that it is something that in a year will happen, in fact, somehow I think that being better Professional is something that never ends, every day we learn something that will help us to be better in our work and even in the personal environment.

But how do we do to be better professionals? Actually, because of the little time that I have been in the workplace, especially as a software developer, there is not to much that I can advise, but, from what I have been learning and I have seen during the time that I have been in the company whose mission is to train professionals who promote the economic and social development of the region, I can say that many times we think that to grow we only have to work and work, but, nevertheless, sometimes we also have to really think what is the things that we like the most and start to move, try to let our superiors know that we are there to learn and we have interested many other technologies or areas, let them know so that way we can improve or learn more about what we are interested.

Another piece of advice that I have received during my stay in the company is that if we want to reach another level as professionals, we must lose the fear that we sometimes feel with clients more than anything because we do not want to look bad or fall bad for getting into decisions of the projects. However, it is very important that if we see that we can contribute to the client not necessarily only by solving tasks, but, by giving them advice or new ideas on how to improve the project, it can become very profitable, since the client will begin to give us a little more freedom or take our opinions for important decisions that would clearly give us much more experience for future projects.

Also, personally for all the work experiences I have had, thanks to the different people I have lived with I have been able to learn that to improve and be better every day, we also have to read a lot, the theory never ceases to be important to learn and grow , also challenge yourself, set goals and try to meet them in the time that we set ourselves, and if we do not meet it, make a retrospective of why we did not achieve it and try to improve it the next time we try.

Also, a very important one that my company tells us about is trying to get to know our self , mainly to learn what our strengths and weaknesses are, and from there to know especially how to act in our daily tasks and also focus on those weaknesses and turn them into strengths and our strengths improve them even more.
