There are countless technologies, equipment and structures to learn as an engineer. As a The job seekers, it makes it very difficult to decide where to invest. You do not want to spend time in learning something that employers do not care about. So, how can you determine what to learn over your valuable time?
The answer comes from the realization that your goal is to find a job exactly. Finally, you will accept a job offering; You can not keep several full -time jobs concurrently. Instead of appealing to all possible employers, your goal is to be an extraordinary fit for a specific job.
Said differently, You should aim to polarizeA hiring manager should look at your resume or linkedin profile and be one of the two reactions:
- This person is a great fit (“I do not see many developers who know the war so deeply. We must definitely interview them “,
- This person is clearly not a good fit (“We use python, which they do not mention at all”,
You want to avoid “probably” bucket, which is unfortunately where most job seekers end. These borderline engineers dilute their resumes by mentioning a lot of buzzwords and technologies. If they follow the 2-hour YouTube tutorial, they will list the technique when resuming that technique. These resumes do not appeal to anyone because they try to appeal to everyone. The hiring manager argues, “They have listed Python with 10 other programming languages, so they are probably not good at any of them.” In a difficult job market, it gives results in poor results.
As you become fast senior in your career, you should be faster polarization. When you have clarity about techniques, people and companies with which you want to work, you dramatically increase the possibility of landing your criteria.
So how should we decide in which technique to invest? The answer is that it does not matter, as long as you choose something and are committed to it. When we embrace the idea of ​​polarization, we can remove the second-orbet that affects many job seekers. Many engineers said that on whom to learn JavaScript framework or which AutoCAD toolset is the master.
Instead of being caught in the decision paralysis, just a technique for a few months is committed to you or your friends. You can always change the course later, but learning only starts when you are committed. When you go into an area enough, you will find it quite easy to translate that expertise into adjacent areas. Your confidence will increase, and you will have more fun.
The depth in a domain will significantly increase the possibility of a job levying for your background.
