Tip #473 from IT managers in Perth: When you roam in a role for a very long time and ‘what you know’ starts to stabilize, it is time for ‘what you know’ is to come to the rescue.
There was a coffee with a great candidate who originally went into something like this:
The role of an accountant – got bored, changed a career and went to an IT company because someone he knew that he could pledge for his intelligence and morality of work.
7 years later he was still there and was bored, went to a separate IT company for a while and then offered the role of an IT manager in another company through a good friend. He stayed for a very long time and found that he would lose his relevant technical skills.
Then someone worked, who already offered him a role in his counseling company, where he had updated his skills in Cloud Tech. Stayed there for a very long time, then the role of another IT manager was offered because his skills were seen in one of the project, which he led as an advisor.
For this, people seeking their home advice to pursue their career?
Cultivate relationships
This is not just what you know, but how well you cultivate those relationships. If you are only talking to those people when you want something from them, it’s not really a relationship and they will not be eager to help.
Your work is your value
Prove your qualifications through your work that you do. People will happily provide you employment opportunities, even if you are not the most eligible candidates, if they know and rely on the quality of your output.
Reputation and relationship matters
If you live for a long time and your skills become old, then you have your reputation and relationships that will help you find your next role.
