Transferrable skills

Problem solving 



This skill will not only help people to identify a problem while they are at their work in any company, but it also helps to find out the cause of the problem and possible solution to implement to solve the problem. Having this skill will certainly impress the employer as it helps to boost the company's image towards the public.

I was able to acquire this particular skill when I worked as a chef back in Sydney. It took me quite a bit of a time to master this skills as it was very difficult to overcome any problem when the service was very busy. During the time when issues occurred I once mastered this skill, was able to easily think quickly to provide the most suitable solution and minimize loss.

This skill will definitely be useful in my IT related career. Problems are very frequent in IT support role. Therefore being able to quickly identify the problem and implement the solution will be able to help me grow in my career.

Leadership




When it comes to leadership skills,, it not only means that you can supervise and manage a team but it also include the ability to take a lead on a shared tasks and accomplish it to achieve a common goal.

I was able to gain this skill during the six month project in the final semester of my Bachelors Degree. I was a product owner/ manager of our project and I was responsible to guide my team towards the accomplishment of the project by strictly following the guidelines given by the investor.

When it comes to the importance of this particular skill in my IT related job such as IT support officer, this holds a very important role. I can easily apply this skill to take  lead in any project that comes during the tenure of my job and provide the best result to the company.

Team work




This is another skill which means working together as a part of the team to achieve a common goal. Actively contributing to the team rather than just being in the team are two different scenario. Employers always want someone who is motivated to help other member of the company.

I was able to acquire this skill when I worked as a chef. There are different sections in a big kitchen and there are several people assigned in each section. Sometimes when one section is busy while the other is slow. During that situation I would jump up to the busy section and give a hand to finish the orders in the short amount of time to minimize wait time for the customers.

 In the similar manner I can implement this skill in my IT support officer role as well. My skills might be useful to some other staffs of a different section in case of a problem. In that case working as a team might help to achieve a common organizational goal.

Waterfall vs. Agile Methodologies Today in this blog, we will discuss about the differences between waterfall and agile project methodologies. Working in a project just like any other business, has a certain targeted goals which must be achieved in a fixed time frame. To achieve the goal of a project, various strategies can be applied accordingly. But two of the most popular project methodologies are waterfall and agile.  Taking a look at the history of waterfall model, it was first introduced by Winston Royace in 1970. It was developed as a software development method but he himself claimed that it was a faulty method. However, there are many successful companies who have widely used this model. On the other hand, the agile model of software development came to this world in 1990s. This time the traditional structured, segmented, bureaucratic approach to software development was discarded by developers and was replaced by more flexible approaches. Waterfall Model As the name impli...

Understanding risk

Risk: Unemployment outlook  The International Labour Organization (ILO) estimates the number of individuals in the labour force aged 15 and up in 2017. Unemployment can be used to assess the overall health of the economy. Long-term high unemployment reduces consumer purchasing power, lowers government tax revenues, and raises the risk of societal instability. Furthermore, while economists and scholars think that some natural unemployment is unavoidable, excessive unemployment has huge consequences for individuals, society, and the country. Worse, the majority of the expenditures are "dead loss" in nature, which means that there are no benefits to offset the costs that everyone must bear. Depending on how the unemployment rate is calculated, it can be interpreted in a variety of ways. And, with that in mind, business prospects in a country with a high-risk unemployment outlook can put a company's survival in jeopardy. South Africa, Greece, Spain, Tunisia, the Dominican Rep...

After making two-step authentication the default, Google account hacks decreased by half

Image
Google announced two-step verification for its two billion users on World Password Day (May 6, 2021). However, what exactly is two-step verification and how does it work? We need to understand the principle behind two-factor authentication as more websites, applications, and games implement it as part of their login processes. When we talk about authentication factors, we're talking about three different types of authentication methods: Something you know:  Passwords and one-time PINs, sometimes known as OTPs, are examples of knowledge-based factors. Something you have:  This is a separate, actual item, such as a USB token or a smartphone authentication app. Something you are:  Biometrics, such as your fingerprint, a retinal scan, facial ID, and so on, are examples of inherent factors. So, two step verification, or 2SV, is an identity verification mechanism in which an authorized user must complete two stages in order to properly authenticate. After this approach was...
