MIS 2 Assignment 1: As an IT professional 10 years from now..
0 comments Posted by vanessa may at 7:53 AMHmmn imagining myself 10 years from now makes me feel a bit excited and nervous. Probably I’m 31 years old that time and have a family on my own. I’m a graduate of BSIT and definitely reached the stage of being a professional. That’s also the time wherein I can pay back all the hard works my
parents did for a couple of years I stayed in the university. Right after graduation, I’ll be part of the corporate and prestigious world of IT environment wherein I can contribute the knowledge I had which is a big help to the company I’ll be engaging in. I’ll be an IT Analyst, a Web Designer or maybe owns a big company hopefully. Well with regards to my profession that time, I guess I’m worthy to be called as an IT professional. With so much effort and strategies I made, well it wouldn’t hard for me to achieve my desired goals in life.
What would be the strategies I made in order to achieve the goals I set in? First, I may not able to have a work if I didn’t study for a couple of years in the university. That really requires so much patience and determination. It really involves planning. Proper plans to set so that I had a path to follow and basically end up with good result. As I reached the time where I’m engaging to the work environment I choose, planning is definitely plays an important role. I may have a set of workloads to be made on that day and for the rest of years I stayed in the company. There would be some steps I will follow to accomplish the task I had. Planning is not only the strategy I may have. Yeah there is a plan but I think planning would not be successful alone if I don’t possess the traits of being a good employee. I must be competitive enough in the workplace since I’ll be dealing with different people and somehow had a different idea with my colleagues. One of the greatest strengths I may possess is taking the initiative to do something when no one else will. When I see that something needs to be done, even if that part was not my task I must simply do it. I must be flexible enough in the workplace. Moreover, a communication skill is one of the traits I must bare in mind since there are some differences of ideas between employees. Proper communication in the workplace will lead to a successful work and can help the organization achieve their goals. I cannot able I must be updated of the latest trend since technology nowadays is fast moving and is adaptable to changes. That really needs the strategic planning a company must take into. Well being part of the company, I will play an important role in making the organization go in the flow.
Another strategy I may have is that knowing my strengths and weaknesses. Learning to follow your bliss is a critical component in managing a career and I guess that’s the greatest strength I may possess. Nailing down the self-knowledge that leads to career fulfillment comes from a process of exploring interests, skills, personality, learning style, and values. With regards to the weaknesses, I must know and consider those areas in the work field where I could improve. An evaluation from the employer is a big help to improve the weakest side of me and with that I’ll be motivated to show some improvements.
