<blockquote>“Curiosity is the engine of achievement”</blockquote>Thanks for the fruitful sharing from Verlebie and Gary in June “Ask Me Anything” session! Let's dive deep into their sharing and see what they have inspired us! Knowing that the IT sector would be the primary trend and has a promising future, students or professionals in work may be interested in changing their career paths.Stepping out of the comfort zone is never easy. Verlebie was a UST BBA graduate and became a Customer Engineer at Google. Verlebie shared that the crucial part of changing career paths is to be flexible while growing mentality. She took engineering courses, learned from working experiences, built a profile, and joined her Customer Engineering team. As she has less experience than her colleagues, changing the field requires a mentality to overcome inferiority. The extra percent of effort is needed, and be more hardworking in picking up the workload. She thinks hard and soft skills more or less can be accumulated with time, but the mentality is the critical point for people to stay and pay an effort in the new job.For Gary, he shared the skill set required as a software engineer as well as a tech blogger, Gap Liao Tech with 7,000+ followers. Although everything is fast in the IT industry, problem-solving skill is always essential for a software engineer. When a problem arises, the engineer needs to make use of established algorithms and data structures to settle the coding problem. Gary also encouraged potential IT talents to make good use of GitHub, to show their contributions and work done, and to build confidence for the interviewer on talents.Meanwhile, Verlebie has shared the concept of a T-shaped skill with us. At the start of entering an industry, she encouraged people to find one or a few solutions they wanted to focus on after learning the wide skills. Then further investigate the deep discipline expertise and let it become the edge. It would be an advantage for people to seek a job or find out their own value in the IT industry. This is also the key to build-up confidence; a remarkable quality can make people feel valuable and satisfied in the workplace.Once again, thank you for Verlebie and Gary addressing the challenges and advising potential talents interested in the software engineering sector! It is a pleasure to help them set sail on their journey to pursue their dreams.
