Job hopping vs Seeking professional development

July 2, 2018

Introduction


It is the long weekend Monday. I stayed at home, and worked on one hard level algorithm, two mock interviews. I had chance to talk to a lead in another country called Spain, and then also I had chat over 15 minutes with a young professional in San Francisco.

The young professional in San Francisco advised me to spend 80% of spare time to work on problem solving skills, as a software programmer, work on algorithm and data structure. You should try to find a good company to allow you to learn advanced frontend technology, but you will be out if your problem solving skills are not so good.

My research topic for the next one or two hours is to understand the article called "Are you job hopping or seeking professional development?". The link is here.

30 minutes study


I like to write down some notes from the article, and I like to understand the ideas as well.

Self-aware  


Statement:
The most effective leaders take the time to develop a practice that enhances self-awareness.

A job-hopping history raises curiosity about whether you know who you are, what you are good at, and where you can make a meaningful contribution.

Smart companies know that self-aware employee are crucial.
  They are better at building relationships with others,
  They are better at managing themselves and creating positive impacts on their environments.
  They often know how to adjust communication to optimize effectiveness.

Experience and curiosity

The trick is to find a balance between curiosity and commitment.

Take the time to think about what you do well and what you enjoy doing most.

Being engaged and productive at work sometimes is the best way for new opportunities to find you.

If you are self-aware, you will notice when these opportunities appear.

My understanding


I do not have psychology degree. This is the first time I read the article and I like to think carefully on those arguments.
