Getting Real (Chapter 8)

Chapter 8 – Staffing, taught me about being ready to the test, for the part of potential employees; I should expect dry-runs to be given by my employer if ever. The concept of testing developers, designers, and other IT related personnel is actual good; both parties would get to have the chance to see how each other handle things and work together. Also, this chapter tells something about learning to work with just a few people; after all they are easy to manage and do not rely on having a lot of people to do things. Another, I learned such thing about “open source programmers” and how good they are in terms of developing an application.

Likewise, I also learned that in anything you do, you got to have that “passion”; when everything is so tiring and getting on your nerves, having that passion will save you. Next, it is good to be familiar or knowledgeable at least with other things; it helps being a “well rounded” person especially in work and to practice having a good writing/communication skills. Last, I learn that asking questions is not bad at all; do not be shy to ask about anything. Asking questions shows more or less that a person is interested to that thing.
