i took the test but i forgot mine, it really doesn't matter anyway. hehe. XD
during college i prefer working alone, i have "trust" issues when we are assigned in group projects. my work gets done faster when i'm alone. sometimes having a 4-member group messes up everything or makes 1 or 2 members idle. but i was wrong during our senior year project. my groupmates were good. i became a teamplayer already. :-) same when you're in the industry already. some work needs to be done alone, some involves teams. time may be money but sometimes hurrying too much could cause waste on money because it wasn't properly planned. too much planning also drags down the project. in programming for example, putting functions in one class library may often be a better idea but again, leaving them just as functions may also be better. it depends, just make your code more readable and flexible so that other developers who will maintain your code in the future would be able to understand it without you having to put comments in it. follow standards, you can find a lot in the internet. they may be different kinds but at least follow one. i've debugged source codes written by previous developers and sometimes it's giving you a headache trying to understand what the program is trying to do. having standards makes your code more readable. and make your code simple, but not simpler. before i often participate in flame wars about programmers promoting their favorite PL and bashing each other's ass out. VB is for idiots, Java is over-engineered, etc. but actually each has their own purpose depending on the circumstances and needs of the program you're working with. also, learn from experienced people who are already in the IT industry for years and from your co-developers, etc. ask questions, learn from them. set aside the "i'm-better-than-you" attitude, humble yourself once in a while. it's nice to have a good and experienced boss also. it helps a lot. if you think you're better than your boss, resign. there's no point staying when you're no longer challenged or there are no more interesting problems to solve. if everything doesn't work out, be thankful, because if it did, you'd be out of job. just don't mess up all the time. hehe. :-) just a fresh grad sharing his experience in work. hehe. :-) everything is relative. -- リヅバン バルヨス Ridvan Lakas ng Bayan Superioridad Baluyos Business Systems Developer KFC Philippines - Ramcar, Inc. 7/F Systems Development Section 80-82 Roces Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City Office Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -------------------------------------------------------------- Registered Linux User #439466 http://ridvan.baluyos.net http://www.onxiam.com/people/rbaluyos/
