Three important habits for growth that an engineer with a liberal arts background learned in his first year

Hello!

I'm Rin from the System Solutions Department.

Recently, I had a junior in my department, and there were a few things I felt like I should have done in my first year.

I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience on my blog and hope that it will be useful for those who are starting their working lives or are in a similar situation!

1. Ask honest questions

In other words, "don't give the impression that you understand .

When I put myself in the position of a senior, I realized that it was very difficult to grasp who understood what and to what extent.
When I was in my first year, I didn't ask questions even though I didn't really understand it, and I ended up thinking, ``I wonder what this means after all...'' and wasting my time. It happened many times.

It's important to do your own research, but I feel it's better for both of you to honestly ask questions!

2. Make an effort to fully understand

I don't think anyone can completely understand everything at once, but I think it's very important not to give up halfway through your efforts to understand what you've been taught or what you've researched on your own.

In my second year, I realized that ambiguous understanding and knowledge not only cannot be applied, but could even be dangerous

I think it's important to keep trying to understand the essence of what's being said, even if it's slowly, rather than just thinking you've "understood" it in a vague state

3. Proactively output

Output is the most powerful way to determine what you understand and what you don't understand

Recently, I have had more opportunities to explain technology to my juniors, and each time I do it, the points that I don't understand become clearer.
Once you know what's unclear, all you have to do is study it.

In the first year, you will be in a position to teach, so there may be few opportunities for output, but in order to check whether the knowledge of the technology you have learned is correct and whether you can explain the technology, I think it would be a good idea to actively try to output information to your seniors.

Please feel free to try it out as if it were a test of your strength!
